Morals aren’t defined by the law. Abortion is legal but is hardly moral. We have laws crafted to elevate certain races, ethnic groups, genders, and even sexual behaviors above others that fall outside the category which in a free society that is supposed to guarantee equal standing under the law clearly does not. It seems to me that the point of a law such as in the case of signature gathering for ballot inclusion is about the validity of the signatories not the signature gatherer. Most of these types of laws are designed to make it more difficult for those who aren’t members of the accepted political class to get on the ballot. They use arcane conditions to protect their power. I don’t support that nor do I support stupidity in the name of the all mighty and supreme “Law” which in this age has come to mean whatever the hell the powerful want it to.

Yet all laws are an expression of morality.

The problem with libertarians and left-wingers is that they fail to see that and only complain about legislating morality when they oppose something.

There is nothing special about libertarians or left-wingers when it comes to pushing their own legislated culture. They do it all of the time.
