Daniel Hannan Talks About Common Law
Nobody Flashes
While the Supreme Court is going to decide about whether the federal government has the right to tell us all that we MUST buy something, or else face jail time and fines, I thought this video of Daniel Hannon should be shown to remind us just how far our country has come from giving the individual citizen the liberty that was once, the very basis of common law. We got our laws from the great Brits before us, and Daniel reminds us all.
Last night I watched a video made by a young man, who was sitting on his new farm, that he had just put all his money into. He pleaded that when the economy gets worse, he will be ahead, because he did not put all his money in gold and silver…but food. And then, the commentators reminded him that the government could come take his land any time they wanted.
They had a very good point. So then, only if you had gold and silver could you fend them off. The message they were all telling him is: once Big Brother gets the power..you will have very little rights.
And this is why I really like Daniel Hannon..he fights for liberty everywhere.
Will the Supreme Court rule to the common law with Obamacare? Will one of the conservative judges give in? We shall see in a few days.

It is interesting that Daniel brings in Napoleonic Law. Whilst I am fully behind the Common Law principles, he omits one glaring aspect that developed shortly after Magna Carta. That is ‘Advocacy’. It was a necessary development as most people were not able to read and ‘know’ the intracacies of the ‘common law’ nor use it to articulate any argument upon which their own defence could be made. So ‘Lawyers’ came to be, who have since destroyed any semblance of ‘truth seeking’ in the circumstances of almost any Court case you care to mention. The Judges, who were supposed to be knowlegable about the same ‘Common Law’ quickly abandoned any attempt to drive the process toward truth seeking and sat back comfortably into the role af adjudication which Lawyer presented the stronger argument.
The Jury system was a back-stop, there to deliver the verdict of the people represented by 12 ‘good men and true’. Slowly the rights to a Jury, whom often disgreed with the ‘Judge’ and exercised ‘Common sense’ in harmony with Common Law, were diminished and have all but disappeared in most civil cases. The Family Court for example, which handles over 50% of all civil cases, is a Secret Court. No jury at all and a Judge driven by feminist-marxist ideology.
The Napoleonic Code does not make a plave for Juries or ‘Common Law’, but at least it has a panel of magistrates that have the power to direct their own investigations of cases, over-riding Lawyers and their fatuous claims, in order to determine the Truth.
It is ironic that in Angophile law processes, a witness is sworn – on a religious oath – to tell the Truth, The Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth. Yet were such a witness to even attempt to do that he/she will be slapped down and even incarcerated for ‘Contempt’ of Court. Not contempt of Truth. He/she must answer ONLY the questions put to them, by tricky lawyers who are hell-bent on presenting ONLY the ‘facts/suppositions’ ( I put it to you….) that serve their purpose.
No Lawyer ever got rich representing and ‘advocating’ on behalf of the innocent or revealing the Truth about their clients’ activities.
An entire body of legal ‘precedent’, established by legal chicanery and avoidance of Truth, has arisen which refuses point-blank to consider Truth and substitutes instead, ‘Rules of Evidence’ and ‘Plea Bargaining’ which are designed soley to hide the truth let alone the whole truth, and permit miscreants to escape punishment.
The Law in the West has been beaten out of shape. It is as reliable as a rusted car discovered in a ditch after 40 years.
