If the Supreme Court said that a government agency had a duty to start lining Jews up into gas chambers, would we be told it’s the “law of the land” by anyone?
When someone reacts to this issue in a wishy-washy way, it has nothing to do with laws or courts, it has to do with how they feel about the issue. If they have no problem with same-sex marriage and don’t think it’s immoral, they will say it’s the “law of the land.” If the issue was gas chambers, they would start actually doing something to defy and work around the Supreme Court’s ruling. And they would absolutely not say that any government employee had any obligation to comply with that ruling.
Only in the womb is murder legal.
