    If he’s going back to “ancient law” shouldn’t he also recognize he’s standing on stolen land belonging to native Americans prior to European arrival?

      Are you saying the laws in 3000BCE Mesopotamia can’t help him get rich right now? How many library books did you read today? I rest my case.

          You just blew my mind by introducing me to a new aspect of history that wasn’t familiar to me. I love history, so thank you! Also, that wasn’t a library book citation, so check-mate bitch!

    “Confirmed what I already knew.” I’m sure that was with some detailed research into the breadth of the subject involving the reinforcement of a robust understanding, right? Surely it wasn’t something like… finding a couple legal sounding books, and finding a few words in those books they understood, before taking some pictures they thought suggested research and calling it good!

    I was confused until I realized they used the wrong “there”. Then I was just a little less confused, but still confused.
