Seriously? Our legal standard was based in Christianity.
Neither of your links say what you claim.Darwinian thought seizes Harvard Law and the Blackstone is booted out. In 1869, Eliot becomes president of Harvard.

Eliot appoints Langdell, who doesn't believe in a ridgid law based on Christianity, as taught in the Blackstone, but as a Darwin disciple, believes the law is evolving. Moral relativism at Harvard is born and Christo is dropped from the Motto, with only Veritas remaining.

And so begins the demise of our Christian Nation as it was founded.
He says he used to be a cop, too. Scary ...Ulitmate seems very unbalanced and very interested in lesbianism, as if that is important at all.
Very creey, and UR is obiviously someone who offers little of worth to the discussion.
You know, I don't remember reading about jury trials in the books of the law of the Bible ...Seriously? Our legal standard was based in Christianity.
And blackstone's views were shaped by the legal practices of ancient Rome, ancient Greece, and the germanic tribes who meandered into Italy from around 100 BCE, all of whose legal systems predated the birth of Christ by centuries. The pagan germanic tribes developed the practice of wereguild which is foundational to our system of civil law in this country. The Romans and Greeks practiced trial by jury and developed practices such as the accused being entitled to a legal defender and appointed judges. Your lack of historical knowledge on the subject is readily apparent.
Our constitution and declaration of independence were most informed by enlightenment ideals, not Christian ones.

Wow, did anyone tell Justinian that it was really the wild Germans....
Lurkers, ignore the bullshit of Catzshit. Justinian I ordered the "Twelve Tables" of Roman law constructed in 449 B.C. - it is from his name that we get our word "Justice."
The first legal text is the Law of the Twelve Tables, dating from mid-5th century BC. The plebeian tribune, C. Terentilius Arsa, proposed that the law should be written, in order to prevent magistrates from applying the law arbitrarily.[4] After eight years of political struggle, the plebeian social class convinced the patricians to send a delegation to Athens, to copy the Laws of Solon; they also dispatched delegations to other Greek cities for like reason.[4] In 451 BC, according to the traditional story (as Livy tells it), ten Roman citizens were chosen to record the laws (decemviri legibus scribundis). While they were performing this task, they were given supreme political power (imperium), whereas the power of the magistrates was restricted.[4] In 450 BC, the decemviri produced the laws on ten tablets (tabulae), but these laws were regarded as unsatisfactory by the plebeians. A second decemvirate is said to have added two further tablets in 449 BC. The new Law of the Twelve Tables was approved by the people's assembly.[4]
Ancient Rome adopted the image of a female goddess of justice, which it called Justitia. Since Roman times, Justitia has frequently been depicted carrying scales and a sword, and wearing a blindfold. Her modern iconography frequently adorns courthouses and courtrooms, and conflates the attributes of several goddesses who embodied Right Rule for Greeks and Romans, blending Roman blindfolded Fortuna (fate) with Hellenistic Greek Tyche (luck), and sword-carrying Nemesis (vengeance).
^Thinks there wasn't a legal system in Rome until a Christian assumed throne. What a fucking maroon.
How does what you've written here conflict with my comments in any way?

^Thinks there were Christians in 449 B.C. and that it's later than the "100 BCE" that she posted..

You foolishly and ignorantly claimed that our Justice system (note the similarity of the word to "Justinian") is derived from Germanic tribes, then listed "100 BCE" as the date. Hey, you used the PC revisionist notation, so it must be right...
You're a blowhard Catz.
There can be legitimate debate as to whether trial by jury actually began with Justinian, some say the Greeks had a Jury system that predates Rome. Either way, it didn't come from "Germanic Tribes" in "100 BCE" as you claimed.
It is positively documented in 449 B.C.

I'm afraid you're not reading what you posted.Our Supreme Court said that we are a Christian Nation in 1892.
If we pass beyond these matters to a view of American life, as expressed by its laws, its business, its customs, and its society, we find everywhere a clear recognition of the same truth. Among other matters note the following: The form of oath universally prevailing, concluding with an appeal to the Almighty; the custom of opening sessions of all deliberative bodies and most conventions with prayer; the prefatory words of all wills, "In the name of God, amen;" the laws respecting the observance of the Sabbath, with the general cessation of all secular business, and the closing of courts, legislatures, and other similar public assemblies on that day; the churches and church organizations which abound in every city, town, and hamlet; the multitude of charitable organizations existing everywhere under Christian auspices; the gigantic missionary associations, with general support, and aiming to establish Christian missions in every quarter of the globe. These and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation.
