Well, that's demonstrated a new set of debating skills.

There's a very specific definition in legal terminology here; I appreciate the need to reduce the phrase "body of constitutional law" to the soundbite of "our constitution", but it doesn't make the soundbite factually correct.

BTW, I understand that how much being hit by a bat hurts depends on whether it's a Madagascan Fruitbat or a British Pipistrelle. In both cases, though, the RSPCA is likely to throw the book at you when they prosecute.
