out of curiosity, how are old statutes treated? If an 1840 statute was on the books, do judges still treat that as existing law or do we hold they are not necessarily applicable? (Even though, de jure, they do?)
I've been fascinated at how the legal system treats the old outdated laws that no longer really operate. I know that sodomy was technically on the South's books but they were considered antiquated law by the early 2000s.
