Because you were right on the positive law. But it still doesn’t change the fact that we are a common law country. Just wanted to make sure you didn’t confuse the two.

It's abundantly clear where the confusion lies...and it's between your ears.

Okay. I'm going to try to narrow you down on this...

Because you were right on the positive law. But it still doesn’t change the fact that we are a common law country.

Can you comprehend that common law (that being the concept of precedence) is just one part of our system of law and that it doesn't encompass the entire system of law in this nation?

You're heading in the right direction simply with your recognition that there actually is positive law so it shouldn't be that hard of a reach.
