Can you show a single Supreme Court ruling on a Constitutional issue where case law and precedence was not a factor?
We're talking about a decision from a hearing in the State of Georgia, not a SCOTUS ruling.

If we were not a common law country, why are eligibility lawyers using Minor?
Have I claimed we are not a common law country? On the contrary, as you well know. @229 - There's common law, that being the concept of precedence. It is just one part of our legal system.

Are you saying it is a binding precedent on a Constitutional matter?
Are you trying to put words in my mouth again?

Why are you misdirecting the conversation and not simply answering the question?
Did Malihi refute the definition of NBC in Minor and state why he did so?

He didn’t have to refute anything. He had to apply existing law. Which he did.

You disagree - I got it. The courts will soon tell us which of us is right.
