And using the same pretext of natural law, I'd cite A.Lincoln, that no one has the right to do what is wrong.

How does Lincoln's claim derive from natural law?

That's why we have republican government, not government by tribunal.

What does that have to do with having (or not) the right to do wrong?

-self evident truths.

-such things are for a free people to make careful, respectful, constitutional decisions about, not for a tribunal interpreting a strict set of rules to protect the most possible liberties.
