With a little googling I am sure you can find one yourself.
This "opinion piece" from the Federalist Society is well-researched and cites the common law and one state's attempt at codifying the common law.

This case is on appeal. The Wisconsin Court of Appeals is not going to look to an opinion piece (they may take judicial notice of it in a footnote, but that's not going to be the basis for their decision). They want case law--simply because basing the Court's decision on an opinion piece would be the Court making new law. They aren't going to do that.
