But the common law is evolving. That's why we review previous cases and cite precedent. Because we assume the interpretation of the law will change as soon as it comes into contact with facts. There is a point where Congress needs to get involved, but until they choose to do so, the court system is where the law happens. Sometimes that includes evolution, but I suppose it's up to the appeals system to draw that line.
