[DiogenesLamp]

I admire Lincoln and for purely selfish reasons I am glad that he saved he Union, but Lincoln was a good and decent man and I know he would never have wanted to save the Union had he known that it would lead to homosexual weddings. I don't think he saw that link.

No, of course he didn't. His vision didn't extend that far. Only God, Prophets, and some very intelligent people who contemplate these sorts of things, can see that far.

For that matter, the founders also couldn't see that far regarding some of the laws they wrote, and we are still suffering today from the lack of clarity some of them put into the various articles/amendments of the US Constitution. ("Natural Born Citizen", for example.)

But the lesson here is "Don't Tamper with things you don't understand." Isn't that our arguments against the Liberal efforts to enact social change?

Have you ever considered the possibility that draftsmen often intentionally use vague language in order to delegate more power to future decision makers? Do you find that notion disturbing?
