Not according to the Founders.

Yes, according to the Founders.

Where did they write down this "higher law" that the government is supposed to enforce? Where in the Constitution do you find it?

It's fine if you don't want to acknowledge that the Founding Fathers based our laws on the laws of God.....on Judeo-Christian law.

But it doesn't change the fact that those laws were understood and absorbed into our Constitution without specific mention of them.

Thomas Jefferson wrote that democracy without morality would fail. Where did that morality come from? Certainly not from ourselves.

Tell you what, highball........I gotta go now, but you can join in with the ACLU and scrape that engraving of Moses holding the Ten Commandments off the Supreme Court building, if acknowledging that they are the source of our law is so odious to you.

Until then, good day........

if you just would accept that you clearly do not understand what it means to be a Christian then a discussion would be in the correct context. At least 98% of our founding fathers were Christians and based the Constitution upon their faith.
