While correct, this author (a student mind you) will soon learn there is a difference between the way things are and the way you wish they were.

Reminds me of the "federal income tax is illegal" argument.

While correct, it really has not practical application.

You say that the "income tax is illegal" argument is "correct".

Funny word, "correct".

It really depends on what one thinks law is.
If one thinks of it as a set of abstract principles, like mathematical axioms, then one could argue that a law in wide use is illegal with some justification.

But one things that law is a set of political principles, an expression of political will, then law is much more like money. Money is not a fixed thing. "Money is what money does", and law is what law does, not as an abstract thing, but in concrete reality.

If one looks at law that way, then the income tax is clearly the law of the land, and therefore legal by definition.

It all depends on one's philosophy.

Correctamundo! Both political parties garner votes by keeping the issue alive (and ignoring the alive children being slaughtered in their mother's womb). Let's be clear here, Congress could end the Roe evil with a new law designed to rely upon the time-tested notion of self defense, the defense of an individual's life. But that wouldn't/doesn't mean the guarantee of a dead child, a child noone would be called upon to give support to (not a father, not a mother, not a taxpayer). America is now founded (in the modern era, the past thirty plus years) upon the shed blood of tens-of-millions of alive unborn children sacrificed to our selfishness, political ambitions (as in the democrap party), and financial convenience. We have become a degenerate nationn (sacrificing our innocent unborn children for expedience is truly degenerate) so it's not surprising that degeneracy in other aspects of public life are rising dramatically (can't bring ourselves to reject degeneracy when we are supporting degeneracy with our selfish avoidance to address the most evil social trend of all human history).
