It's dementia to believe you proved anything with that nitpicking 'cite', roscoe.

[Roscoe]

You falsely asserted that prohibitions were a violation of the common law. In fact, the common law contains nothing of the kind, which is why you have been unable to produce anything to support your falsehood.

In fact, the common law itself contained prohibitions. For example:

"The common law of England, including its prohibition of sodomy, became the received law of Georgia and the other Colonies." -- BOWERS v. HARDWICK, 478 U.S. 186 (1986)

Other common law prohibitions included blasphemy, abortion, voting by felons, etc.
