All those positive laws are interpreted in light of previous case law.

Why do you think that every Supreme Court ruling is a litany of prior cases?

Because the flawed thinking of our legal profession has raised the fallacy of tu quoque to a methodology. It is just one more functional defect in our legal system.

First principles should be the starting point for every decision. Not what someone else thought. Our laws are the majority opinions of legislators, not Judges.

I leave this message in the firm knowledge that you can't even understand what I have written.

I understand that you are waking up to the futility of your position.

When your answer is a flat out rejection of our legal system as it has existed for 200 years then I understand you really don’t understand how things really work.
