Most but not all of English common law,and much common law subsequent to American Independence, has been incorporated into statute, incluiding at least in California Very true. The common law isn't static.

No one is claiming that the common law is static or fixed. I went back through our discussion and I never claimed as such. I only have stated that the common law was made in England, and that the common law is the same but can be changed, ignored, or kept by statute if the states want.
