Nothing Levin nor any of the Vattel people says makes any difference to me. What matters is what SCOTUS rules. And they refuse.
SCOTUS doesn’t care whether our military officers can keep their oaths with a clean conscience and they don’t care whether any of us voters can pull the lever with a clean conscience either.
If I can’t pull it with a clean conscience, then I’m not gonna pull it at all. Plain and simple. If you don’t like that, I suggest you talk to SCOTUS and suggest that they do their job.
Rush was discussing health care yesterday, and he said that the SCOTUS is political, even though people say it’s not. I think it’s political too, and they wouldn’t take up this issue.
