American Law operates on the WORDS of statutes and the Constitution. Brits don’t even have a written Constitution. Everything is precedent.
I recall during the Monica scandal, when the lamestream media were all parroting “no precedent” about something or other.
That was nonsense. Using a procedure that is prescribed in the Constitution does not require a “precedent.”
People often raise the same idiotic objection to an Article V convention.
Our Founders understood the words “due process” when they put them in the Constitution, and when they passed laws for civil forfeiture.
Arguing otherwise is just being willfully obtuse IMO.
