Sov theories often contradict each other. "You can't tax me because i'm a citizen!" "You can't tax me because i'm not a citizen!" "This court decision exempts me from the law!" "This law exempts me from court decisions!"

Take any sov claim and reverse it and you'll often find another sov claim.

I've just thought of a new one. See, there are legislators in several states who are afraid some moslems will sneak in and enact sharia law. They want to head it off but they don't want to be too specific. So they've been proposing bills that would ban the application of any "foreign laws" in their states.

So now, instead of saying "you can't touch me because i'm under common law!", sovs can say "you can't touch me because common law, which comes from Britain, is banned!".

The only question is, how long will it take them to figure that out.

Consistency, as well as reality when you get around to it, is the hobgoblin of little minds and sovcits.
