A lot of people profess to have a lot of knowledge on topics, but when questioned they fall apart like a wet paper bag. When dealing with law, if you can not find mention of it in REAL law books, chances are its just some patritard crap. You see, even though today's law books wont tell you crap, 200-300 years ago, they spelled it out for you. Mainly because there was no other way for them to teach those who needed this information. The further back you go, the closer to the truth you will find.
What started me on this post was a group on FB teaching common law, but yet i dont think any of them have read a single real law book on the common law.
There is this belief that there is some mythical common law that will save you. That's not going to happen. The common law is the law we have made thru our representatives that we feel is for the "public good".
If man never existed, would there be a common law or just natural law?
Of course the answer is natural law.
what if one man existed? It will still be only natural law.
Its only when two or more men exist AND they agree upon what the "law" should be, do we then have "common" law. And common law is only common to those in the society practicing it as such. The Blackfoot had different common law then the Pawnee, just as the English had different common law then the Spanish.
Just like American common law is different then English common law. Its what is "common" to US.
And what is common in American law is that citizens, be they state or federal have always been subjects. Over 200 years of court cases and law books stating as much.
Some people like to imagine that words like "the people", "state citizens/nationals" or "republican form of government" somehow negate what society is and how it operates and has always operated.
If someone says "common law is our key", ask them what books they have read on the common law, real law books that is. Chances are they have read absolutely NONE.
