(libertarian belief) that all men are equal before the law
:...Nothing particularly Libertarian about that..."

**********************

Really? American colonists were Englishmen, and as we all know, there was a big difference in the treatment of a commoner and a member of the Peerage when going before a judge.

Neither England nor any other nation on Earth at the time had a system of law where all men were expected to be treated equally under the law.

REALLY ? And the German, Dutch, and French colonists ( to mention but a few here ) weren't colonists on the North American continent ? How very peculiar ? All American colonists were E-N-G-L-I-S-H ? That's why our " mother tongue " was almost G-E-R-M-A-N ?

Which has exactly nothing to do with your fraudulent attempt to claim the Founding Fathers as Libertarians.
