The common law is not a body of laws. It is a body of legal cases that is used to interpret the law. Any type of legal decision and case law, including Constitutional law is part of the common law. Common law is the super set that encompasses all case law.

That is why our conversation has been centered on past legal cases. We are discussing what precedent was or was not established and how it bears on the eligibility issue. We are discussing the common law.

No kidding! I've already established that I know that.
You are the one saying "We are a common law country." as if all of our law is common law when it only comprises a part of our system of laws.

You are also the most obtuse person I've ever known who has the audacity to proclaim that "There is no such thing as Positive law." and who continues to do so despite being shown NUMEROUS times that you have no idea what you're talking about.

We are discussing the common law.
I'm discussing your status as the resident village IDIOT!
