I think “unjustifiable” killing is a more appropriate def’n of “murder” than “unlawful.”

2 illustrations:

Would you agree that Cain’s killing of his brother Abel, before there were written statutes, was “murder”?

Would you further agree that Mengele’s fatal experimentation on human beings was likewise “murder”? — even though it might have been permissible under existing Nazi law.

I think one of the founding principles of our country is that, yes, there is a higher law, which is what “inalienable” rights are derived from.

Chuckling. Of course you do, as it enables you cover Roeder's butt, which you are quite inclined to do, as you see Tiller's murder as justified.
