And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

I would say something like 5242, ~9 points (positive, offering a choice of game contracts).
(I agree that 3♣ shows a weak club hand ~4216.)

I want my opponents to leave my table with a smile on their face and without matchpoints on their score card - in that order.

Probably a 4=2=4=3 with very weak spades or a 5=2=4=2.
