Parse & edit what doesn't work. It's the classic mark of a liberal progressive. Just as Clinton, Obama & Kagan, they are both getting slammed for editing out the words of scholars that don't fit their agenda.
antenati has everything to do with allegiance of the person connected to the property through descent. The right to inherit. You try & make yourself sound soooooo superior, when in fact, much of the law was actually made 1000's of years ago in terms so common place that a common lay person could understand it. You might try & read Aristotle.
