[JD86]

That foreign government can legally infringe upon your rights, but the rights given to you by God, as part of being a man, are still there. They are just being interfered with by man-made laws.

And when you are in a foreign prison or facing a foreign execution my dear, that is a distinction without a difference.

[exodus]

You, and every other man, have God-given, inalienable rights.
Our government is legally, by man-made laws,
required to refrain from interfering with those rights.
If you go to another country,
you may find yourself in a place where government
does not have man-made laws telling it to leave your rights alone.
That foreign government can legally infringe upon your rights,
but the rights given to you by God, as part of being a man, are still there.
They are just being interfered with by man-made laws.

Laws, and the reasons for those laws, make no difference?
If you believe that, why did you become a lawyer?

It matters to me, JD86.
Without that "unimportant" distinction,
it doesn't matter if a law is just,
it only matters if it is the law.
