who loves to demonstrate that he has a large vocabulary... but with no understanding what the words actually mean.

Case in point... yesterday he went on and on about "thousands of years English Law" on which the US is based.

Thousands implies more than one... and 2,000 years ago there was no "English Law", there wasn't even Roman Law as Rome did not even begin to occupy England until AD 43. (some 24 years from now before it is two thousand years ago).

Modern English Law dates back to the Magna Carta in 1215... only 804 years ago... hardly "thousands".

Of course joe and minka let this blather (and all his other blather about how social justice has been "perverted" by the left to mean something other than what it used to mean) go without any challenge.
