We disgree. Scalia dances in a bit to the mud in the middle of his essay on this too. No laws work long term in more than insane degree except those that hew to the Creator's Natural Laws as Judges, Legislators (and Juries) discover that law. (sidenotation: Juries are the part of common law the Justice S., and Author S., both seem to have left out of their intellectual loops.)

Yet Scalia and you both turn away from the heavens and tour the mud then so as to declare (ridiculously) that a Constitutionalist can ignore the very and most fundamental issues of Natural Law due to scope. That was not the intent of the Founders, certainly not in their time.

The founders did not intend for federal judges to be reviewing state law for compatibility with divine law. If the drafters had announced any such intention, the document would never have been ratified.
