13234624, Well that's what I've been wondering since this dust up

Its a professional term to indicate that our jurisprudence is based on English Law as oppose to, Napoleonic Law (which Louisiana is based on) or Spanish Law.

It's sort of being offended by the name of the Anglican Church.

Some folks better talk about it here:

And I do agree with that writer's point that it's a bit tone def but if it is a dog whistle it's a dog whistle that makes critics look kind of dumb because they don't know the history of the term. I mean in here got folks talking about its a muslim term when clearly it isn't.

It's the Niggardly argument all over again.

All just to say, I wouldn't get too worked up about it.
