...which I've already posted numerous times. Why believe whatever Blackstone decides to say about it when we have access to the ACTUAL English law?
That's what's great about the internet. It gives us access directly to the source so that blowhards can be exposed for what they are.
“Why believe whatever Blackstone decides to say about it when we have access to the ACTUAL English law?”
Because, you idiot, you have ONE SENTENCE and NO context. And that one sentence is the name of a bill:
“Bills sent up to the Lords by Mr. Vice-chamberlain to his Majesty”
Thus:
Judgments.
L. 1. B. For Registring of Judgments that may impeach Purchasers or Farmers of Lands.
Aliens Children.
L. 1. B. To place the Children, born within this Realm, of foreign Parents, in Degree for the first Birth or Descent only, as Aliens made Denizens, and not otherwise.
Liberties of the Commons.
L. 1. B. To confirm to the Commons their Freedoms and Liberties.
Horse Stealing, &c.
L. 1. B. To prevent and avoid the common Stealing of Horses, &c.
That is NOT the actual bill. You don’t know if it was passed, or what was in the bill. Yet to your birther brain, reading the title of a bill “sent up to the Lords by Mr. Vice-chamberlain to his Majesty” means you know more about English law than Blackstone did.
I repeat: You are an idiot.
