You know, after seeing the arguments go back and forth, I wonder if the best solution might be to let the voters decide.Actually, they already decided. Moore ran on a platform that rights are granted by the Creator and he was elected overwhelmingly.
However, it doesn't matter to proponents of an overly strong central government, omnipotent 14th amendment and worshippers of the federal judicial oligarch.

What do we do when a court district's population becomes majority Muslim, and they VOTE to outlaw public practice of Christianity and public display of any Christian symbols on private property...and so on, and so on?
The reason we do not have DEMOCRACY in this country, but rather a Constitutional Republic, is to protect the minority view from majority rule.
