[Albion Wilde]

I've never thought of the Constitution as a Protestant document, but in many ways it is, in its stress on individual responsibility and the rule of law. If one's parents are in this country illegally, it is their decision and their risk to their children, just as a felon risks his children by committing murder and then being sent away from them. Protestants tend to regard the rule of Popes and priests with suspicion.

I honestly would not see that as distinctively Protestant.

Rather then providing them the implicit assent the self-proclaimed infallibility conditionally ascribed to popes and councils. The fact is that both the church and this country began upon principled dissent from those who presumed of themselves above that which is written.
