Your post (84) was BRILLIANT!
If one good thing comes of this idiocy it would be a renewed interest in the philosophy of natural law and a recognition that rights come from our Creator and not from Government.
Just because something is spelled out in law doesn't make it a ‘positive law not a natural law’. All written laws should, in a Republic, reflect our best understanding of natural law.
The natural right of women to legal equality is something that has always existed irrespective of any law that recognized this natural law.
The natural right of people to not live in slavery is something that has always existed - the natural state and natural yearning of mankind is for liberty - irrespective of laws that made it illegal.
The right to keep and bear arms is not something granted to us by the U.S. Constitution - it is a natural right that has always existed - the first natural right as some would have it - the one that enables all the others to be preserved and protected.
