I bet lots of Kohn’s previous works luved to quote Jefferson:

“Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”

The end result of feminism. No wonder so many American men look to other countries for wives.

I disagree with all legislation as an expression of morality. Instead of wasting time with multiple examples,I just have two. How can an immoral body make legislation that expresses morality? Is government seizure of private land moral?
Only moral people follow moral laws, even before the laws were written, in their hearts they knew it was wrong. Heck, even animal mothers protect their unborn and their young at all costs.
Tell me how abortion is a moral expression.

You are conflating meanings of the same word.

There is not one piece of legislation that does not express morality. Abortion (though not legislated - forced upon us by an imperial SCOTUS) is the expression of a moral code that says a “woman’s choice” is more important than a baby’s life. It is a brutish moral code, to be sure, but the law perfectly expresses their moral position.

Some have a warped moral sense that the taking of private property is moral, that taxing income is moral. Those laws reflect that rotten moral code.

Don’t conflate the term “moral” as in “moral code” meaning rules of conduct, with “moral” meaning good, upright, righteous.

Immoral men make immoral laws - and in so doing, the laws they make reflect their moral code.
