He was trained at Harvard, therefore fully indoctrinated in the various critical schools of legal analysis. Postmodern, secular, and totally lacking a stable concept of truth, it is a perfect political tool for a gifted liar. Under such a worldview, there are no lies, only things you have to say and do to create the reality you want. Under such a worldview, there is no place for a static document like the Constitution, or the Bible, or any other supposed textual authority. They are all “just words,” mere expendable bullets in the war to create utopia. For those who actually understand how law is taught at Harvard and the other big name schools, there is no surprise in what we are seeing here. It is the designed path. It is not ignorance. It is premeditated rebellion.
Catholic law schools are a step back, but definitely positivistic in their approach.
