I’m all for education. Now as to case law, YES IT IS LAW. That is what is meant by “common law” -—it is “judge made” law. The other kind is “code law” like the Napoleanic Code. Common law works better because the people have more rights and abilities to protect themselves.
And, you can “take on” WKA all you want. It’s called a “hearing” and judge(s) will decide, just as they decided WKA. They may overturn parts of it. I doubt it. Until then, Supreme Court decisions are kinda important and smart people would do well to remember “that is the current state of the law.”
Y’all can jump up and down and run in circles, scream and shout, and read Vattel, and Rousseau, and D.H. Lawrence, whatever, they will NEVER EVER EVER be anything other than secondary or persuasive authority. They do not have the force of law. Supreme Court decisions do.
parsy, who applauds your energy, but wishes it were better directed
Of course you wished I would redirect it because you relly don't want the TRUTH to come out.
Our common law is not that of the feudal law of England, but rather the common law of nature in which England 1st was founded on and many aspects of it remained after the Norman conquest.
You also come back with WKA yet again, but I refer you to the 1965 Immigration Act wherein it states “the citizenship of an alien born in the United States is charged against the quota allowed from the country of the parents.” Thus, even in 1965 the common law that the child follows the condition of the father(if the parents are married) or the mother(if the child was born out of wedlock) was still in place and that law has never been repealed. It merely has been usurped by liberal statist judges who think the constitution is a living and breathing document and therefore is an equal opportunity blank page for the statist to rewrite for their personal political goals of a socialist American. Yes, equal poverty for all.
I say no thanks and so did our founders.
Your replies show that you have no ambition nor inclination to actually learn for yourself. You attack me for putting out there what I have learned and told me I shouldn't spend so much time on educating myself.
parsi, you are nothing more than a drone by the mere fact that you can only regurgitate lies. You have shown yourself to be incapable of independent thought.
