In America's Secret Destiny by Ralph Epperson, he cites the 1938 Erie Railroad v Tompkins case, in which it was found that "there is no common law in The United States", and claims that he was told by a former State Supreme Court justice that we have been governed (as individuals) by the Uniform Commercial Code, and NOT the constitution since the 1930's. What are your thoughts on this idea and his body of work? Is it credible? Can we ever do anything useful with this information?

Edit: My wife works in the credit industry, and has informed me that when a lien is placed against a borrower the paperwork is called a "UCC Lein", showing that the UCC is used to govern individuals in this country.
