And which states existed at the inception of the common law, then? Which non sequitur are you struggling to imply?

Which non sequitur are you struggling to imply? As opposed to the exceptionally relevant point that "common law exists at the state level"?
LOL.

Do you know where the common law came from? The precedents, standards and customs practiced in the various states. No two states were identical in their common laws.

Incredibly wrong. The common law was around hundreds of years before there were even English colonies in North America.

Yeah, she didn't say only moral people should be public representatives.
She specified Christians.
Are you under the impression that only Christians have morals?

Red herring followed by evasion.

The common law was around hundreds of years The precedents, standards and customs practiced in the various states varied. The common law wasn't static or uniform.
Read a book.

You mean where I addressed a question to you, under the assumption that you are capable of entertaining more than one single issue?
My mistake, I guess.

It was an irrelevant evasion followed by evasion, rather than a deliberate red herring followed by evasion?
Fascinating.

Common law is uniform, that doesn't mean that the individual states can't change the requirements for the different causes of actions or torts. Proximate cause and cause in fact, from way back in 1300's England is the building block for all tort causes of action. However, Texas and New York can have different definitions of what constitutes proximate cause. However, more often than not it is the same. The same applies to the general rule of capture, the rule against perpetuities, and many other legal areas.

Try not to strain yourself overthinking these things.
Although I do notice that you evaded answering said question. Projection, perhaps?*
* Also a question - note the question mark.

I have no idea and it is not relevant to anything. Common law can be tossed aside or changed by statute.
