My beliefs are also supported by the law of comity. There is the Comity of Nations, the Comity of States, and Judicial Comity, all of which incorporate, or disparage the 'confidence game'. Also, there is a maxim, and a constitutional guarantee, that all are guaranteed equality under the law. I need no help in determining this to mean no state can have better laws than another state, whether that be 'case-law', statutes, ordinances, codes, and the like.

The above information is not intended to say that the law of comity has to be adhered to, but then, consent of a judicial/ministerial decision must be obtained, and how does a judicial/ministerial decision obtain one's consent with one's belief supported by the law of comity? That my friends, is the 'confidence game'.
