We are endowed by our creator with unalienable rights, among which is life.
Yes. That is self-evident.
That inalienable right was not and has never been granted to the federal government, and so it is retained by the recipient of life and retained.
Right.
Now, I have not read the Oregon constitution, but I believe it is safe to say that the state has not been granted authority of that life.
You are correct. They could not rightfully take that right unto themselves in any case.
The recipient of that life is the only entity which can cede that life to the state or other human beings.
I don't believe that anyone has the 'right' to 'cede their life' to anyone. Their life belongs to the Creator, not to themselves, their families, their community or the state.
Now the people of Oregon pass a law in violation of the Constitution of the US and the conservative supreme court affirms that usurpation.
This is certainly not a 'conservative supreme court'. This is a supremely RADICAL decision which flies in the face of everything this country once stood for.
From whence does the state of Oregon and the Supreme Court say they derive their authority. If it is higher than God, I need to know.
Certainly they didn't base it on any foundational principle of America.
Perhaps they are basing it in penumbras and emanations?
I feel sure that the ACLU is in a frenetic state to try to find 49 other similar cases to raffirm what has been ruled upon. Judicial tyrrany reins supreme today in the USA. Kennedy and Stevens, and Ginsberg need to leave. What pathology the country has fallen to.
That's all well and good, but don't mistake your ideology for the law. There's a huge difference.
Certainly they didn't base it on any foundational principle of America.
Yeah, but so what? There wasn't any "foundational principle" at issue. The only question before the Court was whether the Attorney General construed the statute and regulations properly.
This is a supremely RADICAL decision which flies in the face of everything this country once stood for.
Actually, Congress could pass a law overturning this tomorrow. That makes the decision anything but radical.
Perhaps they are basing it in penumbras and emanations?
Perhaps you should just read the opinion. That might help.
