A fingernail sketch: Natural Law is a relatively simple way that the courts used to interpret laws and if there was no law on point, then how to determine the correct outcome. Natural Law is a theory that God set up rules to live by and if God's rules are followed, then society will be well run. Since God does not talk to us regularly we have to look to sources of his will, e.g. tradition if it has worked well, the Bible, even nature itself. It worked pretty well, because it ruled at the edges and let the legislature make significant changes.

If you do some serious research, you can see how most of the Bill of Rights is based upon Natural Law; the idea being that the Bill of Rights is no more than a partial listing of those rights that God gave us.

Yes. Natural Law Theory is the basis of our legal system since all Reason comes from these Laws of Nature.

The Laws of Nature are WHY we have the Laws of Physics-—without the Laws of Nature you could not predict ANYTHING. There could be no science-—no logic -—no reason-— nothing. There would be no possibility of even coming close to the idea of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It is why the Greek culture and the West were so inventive. They developed Natural Law Theory—starting in earnest with Aristotle and even before. Other cultures stayed ignorant because of their lack of developed Natural Law Theory which was at its height in the West with St. Thomas Aquinas and then John Locke and Galileo and Newton.

All science is about predictability-—if you had no Laws of Nature-—like gravity, etc., you could not predict a darn thing.

Everything would be chaos-—arbitrary-—no Universal Truths derived from Natural Laws-—like our Constitution and Legal System—Natural Rights From God.

Arbitrary laws based on Barney Franks perverted urges are UNJUST LAW and thoroughly, absolutely against the Laws of Nature and unconstitutional by a myriad of reasons. Read my tagline.
