ROFLMAO!!! For your information, Common Law as it was imported to the US was the brainchild of the ENGLISH legal system dating back to the days of Henry II of England, and tweaked by Edward I of England.

THERE IS NO PROHIBITION IN THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE OR STATUTORY LAW!!

You're the one who can't follow point A to point B. You're the one WHO CAN'T GRASP THE CONCEPT:

IF IT'S NOT PROHIBITED, IT'S ALLOWED!!!

Read #134 please and try to understand the reality of what that post is trying to tell you and some of the other "deep" thinkers on this thread. Your assertion that "if it's not prohibited it's allowed" is so ludicrous as well as moronic.
Don't you think every tyrant in history has used that same rationale?

Correction: If it's not prohibited to the People it's allowed by the People

If it's not *enumerated* to the government, it's prohibited.

WRONG.... In our Constitutional Republic, with respect to goobermental powers, IF IT IS NOT SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZED FOR GOOBERMENT TO DO, IT IS PROHIBITED. I am not taking a position on this so-called administrative law, 'cause I don't know enough about it... but in general the above applies to gooberment at all levels, FedGov thru the Constitution for the United States; the Sovereign States through their Constitutions... However, I am greatly in favor of bureaucraps at ALL levels of gooberment being boiled in oil. They are the absolute bane to the existence of liberty. This includes bureaucraps in uniform... PEACE officers are not bureaucraps IF they are doing their job of walking their beats, showing the flag and discouraging CRIME. When they are doing anything else, like stealing motor cars because the registration's expired, they are being no more than armed bureaucraps and deserve to be french-fried.
