that's effectively what common law is anyway.

claim to be judging objectively via "precedent", but really all your doing is looking for the tinniest shred of past legitimacy to bullshit whatever answer you really want. common law just being a bastardization of roman law, designed by a bunch of inbred english aristocrats to hold onto their waning power

if you want actual objective law you need to switch to civic law
