First of all, if you review the statutes under the Uniform Commercial Code, you will find that many are unconstitutional. The UCC represents Merchant Law jurisdiction and is at odds with the Common Law of the Constitution. Also, many Supreme Court rulings are unconstitutional, having ruled on public policy rather than public law. Much of our Rights (e.g. liberty, property, privacy) have been usurped by unconstitutional laws and judicial precedents. That may be a standard for REALITY (what is), but it is not necessarily the standard for Constitutionaliy. I can have read the Constitution many times, as well as much of the Federalist/Anti-federalist papers. I can understand words and intent. I don't need some appointed judge with an agenda or some Leftist Supreme Court Justice to tell me what words mean.

That's fine - that's your opinion, and you are free to think that way, talk that way, and vote that way if you are so inclined. All I am saying is that once you set foot in a courtroom, that argument is meaningless, practically speaking. I've said from the very beginning that I don't think that what the school did is a good idea, but by the much narrower standard of legality, it's pretty clearly legal. That's all.

I wasn't asleep in class enough to know there ain't too much common law in the Constitution, Bill. Findlaw on Common Law. By the way, general_re is exactly right. I'm arguing what is, not what should be.
