Definition: LEGES ET CONSUETUDINES REGNI is a Latin term that means "laws and customs of the kingdom."

A more thorough explanation:

LEGES ET CONSUETUDINES REGNI

Leges et consuetudines regni is a Latin term that means "laws and customs of the kingdom." It refers to the common law, which is the body of law that is based on customs and judicial decisions rather than on written laws.

One example of leges et consuetudines regni is the principle of stare decisis, which means "to stand by things decided." This principle requires judges to follow the decisions of higher courts in similar cases. Another example is the presumption of innocence, which means that a person is considered innocent until proven guilty.

For instance, if a judge is deciding a case and there is a previous case with similar facts and issues, the judge will look to the decision in that previous case and follow it. This is an example of the principle of stare decisis, which is part of the common law.

Similarly, if a person is accused of a crime, they are presumed innocent until the prosecution proves their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. This is an example of the presumption of innocence, which is also part of the common law.

Leges et consuetudines regni is a term that refers to the common law, which is a system of law that is based on customs and judicial decisions. The examples of stare decisis and the presumption of innocence illustrate how the common law works in practice. Stare decisis requires judges to follow previous decisions in similar cases, which helps to ensure consistency and predictability in the law. The presumption of innocence is a fundamental principle of criminal law that protects the rights of the accused and ensures that the prosecution bears the burden of proving guilt.

It's all expected, and it's like if its predictable, how can I blame some idiot for marching on the capital. I mean, I almost went to that event.
I don’t think bashing dkk’s view is the right answer here. He’s an example of how dem messaging failed. Dems wanted to create a platform that represented minority groups (poc, lgbtq) while also benefiting the majority through housing plans, tax cuts on the middle class, and tax increases for the rich. For some reason, I think the messaging came off that the dem platform was focused only on the underrepresented groups.

@ImpartialLion: I'm not bashing his view with regard to that the Dem's platform looked focused on the minority. My point is that Trump has zero respect for institutions, political norms, and the Constitution.

All of which Trump has openly said
Looking forward, dems gotta improve the messaging. I think bernie did a good job of that by making the focus “the working class,” which goes beyond race or gender.
@texaslawhopefully: i dont disagree with those statements. I just think we have a lot to learn going into next election

I mean my hope is the GOP gets wiped out in the midterms and has to recentralize its message
Dkk

I would say Texas is pretty nice here. I do think you got the right idea there though @impartialLion and maybe people can apply that to the broader context of why when someone just starts mischaracterizing me as a racist, homophobic, fatphobic, ableist for multiple days, I might just give up and start cussing at em lol. I mean, if someone did that to me in a bar I would get violent and I have been violent in the past with people. Being in bar fights is like an awesome experience and everyone should do it at least once.

I try not to be violent these days cus every time I do assault someone or shove glass in someones face I clould go to jail but usually people are cool about it.

@texaslawhopefully: Yeah, I mean it could happen to the senate and house like it did to Obama but if he keeps his overall approval rating up, even if someone does not like individual policies it's compromise: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-approval-ratings-break-records-democrats-back-him-2018900

@Dkk: Fair. My guess is (if the DNC is smart) dems change there messaging to be more appealing to moderates, they start winning and they hopefully that encourages republicans to move back to the center.
Dkk
18:47
Yeah, exactly.

@GapingVariousTurkey: same bro. im not worried cause yolo, but i think an honest talk with each applicable school will allow them to give leeway
