Well, as a Constitutional Republic, we are a nation of laws, not a nation of "Well, we feel that is immoral, and against ourt faith, so we don't have to obey" stuff - We have to work to fix broken laws, not just ignore them and violate them at our leisure.
Chad, do you have even the remotest idea of the history of our nation? The Founding Father's broke the laws of England in order to found this constitutional Republic. Your statement is just ahistorical.
Chad, I never claimed it wasn't a constitutional republic. My only claim is that there is a higher law than mans'. Even the founding fathers believed such. In fact, for the first 70 or so years of the republic, courts were cognizant of the natural law. Only since the 20th century as all memory of its existence been erased from judicial mind. Sorry to say, but natural law jurisprudence and thought is not an exclusively Catholic idea. The common law, upon which our nations laws are based, took the natural law into account as well. The constitutional republic that you are crowing about is in fact built upon the natural law or higher law. On whose authority did the founding fathers find the gumption to break the law of their sovereign, the King of England. Natural law. The founding fathers broke the law of England because they believed there was a higher law than mans' law.
Come on back when you have done a little more schooling, Chad.
Get over yourself. You ain't saying anything new, nor anything I dont' already know.
