What is really cool is the sovereign of the court can decree the law. So when government takes on one of the people and that people knows what he is doing the government better produce an injured party.

Don't know about you, but I am heading on another fishing trip. I am going back (intellectually speaking) to the time when the Magna Charta was signed, study that document again and find out from those involved in the signing, what was meant by 'common law'. They started the common law, so if anyone knows what common law is, they should know.
