If you'd gone to law school, you would have learned about the basis of our legal system.

Have you gone to law school? If you have, then I have some questions for you. Why were our laws once derived from divine law (Blackstone), but later replaced with legal positivism (Oliver W. Holmes and Charles Evans Hughes)? Do you know what legal positivism is?

Have you gone to law school?

Sure, Cornell class of 2000.

Do you know what legal positivism is?

Sure, roughly, it's the belief that law derives from the sovereign and not from some greater power.

I tend to subscribe to that notion- the sovereign in the US is the people and we write our own laws.
