The Saxons did not have this system and therefore did not have "common law" as we know it today.

I never posted anything that could be construed as such.
You are WRONG! With laws based on custom (since before the Norman invasion) you cannot have a 'uniform system'. What is cusomary in one place is NOT customary in another place. Hanging of fishing nets in a specific place in a specific town is specific to that place - not 'uniform law'.

You also imply that our Judges make the law. They do not! They are bound by the law.

You said that our elected representatives should ignore the opinions of those that elected them... In what way is that represneting us?
