"Just what the hell is Natural Law supposed to mean anyway?

I suppose I am obliged to do your homework like you rely on Weiner to do your thinking. Natural law (Latin: jus naturale) is law that exists independently of the positive law of a given political order, society or nation-state. It is simultaneously a legal philosophy or perspective, and a genre of law - depending on the jurisdiction in which the term is used. The theory of natural law was introduced by Aristotle before being further developed within a Christian context by St Thomas Aquinas. It is an acknowledgment that right and wrong are not determined by man, but by a higher order.

This being said it is not for Weiner to judge the Cheney grand child.

Thanks for the education, you know I'm just a dumb Savage Nation infidel, however Jesus Christ didn't call on the higher halls of education to pool his disciples either. Btw I've heard Savage reiterate this very idea many times on his show. Who's Weiner?
