Do you support laws you see as consistent with God's laws if they are arrived at by means inconsistent with man's law?

Only where that man's law is bad in principle (there's probably a really nice Latin phrase for that;-) but, those would be in cases where the principles of "nature and nature's God," emergency, and/or rationality "should" be preserved, over what passes for man's law.

I believe in being consistent with the principles and adjusting whatever truly should be adjusted as we go, pretty much as Washington referred in his farewell address, a responsibility in which our nation has been derelict.

After 200 years, things can get messed up and the nation should take a well meaning and well reasoning review - what are the chances of that? (How long did it take Byzantium to get Byzantine?)
