But the Founders never advocated getting rid of laws because “laws don’t make people virtuous”.

And they were perfectly fine with laws against sodomy, btw.

Straw man - nobody on this thread has advocated getting rid of laws because “laws don’t make people virtuous”.

And they were perfectly fine with laws against sodomy, btw.

And accepted if not supported slavery - they were human and didn't always live up to the excellent principles they proclained.
