"What you seem to want is for civil law to be subordinated in favor of common law," I must have missed that. I do not see them making that point. "To Wit this is a perfect example of effectively questioning the foundational function of governance in the post World War II world while also not being aware of it apparently." I don't know that I would call this a perfect example. This is extremely narrow and doesn't dive into many aspects of the relationship. I'd say it's more focused on individuals giving up freedoms on the notion that those freedoms don't benefit them personally, but could pose some harm to them if others are allowed to exercise them, without realizing that the same thoughts can be used against them in the future. More a tyranny of the majority than role of government discussion, even if somewhat related.
