Positive law and natural law are not identical. Natural law cannot be reduced to positive law. The natural law principles inscribed in our nation's official documents do not have their origin in those documents. The principles of justice, for example, do not have their origin in the US Constitution.

Each participant in any government must govern according to the principles of natural law, not according to what is interesting or boring.
