I have a case where I quoted Self v Rhay “”The Common law is the real law, the Supreme Law of the land. The Codes, Rules, regulations, policy and statures are not the law." the other side there is no such quote. Snickering, I tried to bring up the case. This is the closest that I got, and they appear to be right:

I checked the "view case" link, and the "citing case" one, and I don't see it.
They said the same thing about Bennett v. Boggs 1 Baldw. 60, 3 F. Cas 221(D.N.J. 1830) where I quoted ""Statutes that violate the plain and obvious principles of common right and common reason are null and void."
I couldn't find that case in its entirety at all. Any assistance would be appreciated.
This book may help. Common Law Pleadings
Thanks for posting the information, I appreciate it.
Due process of law is process according to the law of the land .... . . .
