What's with the oceans of empty space between everything? Who likes this?

Please put more than one thing on the screen at a time, especially when those things are links that lead to the actual content.

Also, when I click through to one of the laws, there's no indication that I have to scroll down, so I'm clicking around for a few seconds like an idiot trying to figure out what to do.

I feel like I'm crazy... Is this really considered good UX?
