I'm big on the rule of natural law.

Without absolutes, positive law can condemn an action that, next year, it mandates.

The "rule of law" under a positivist system is more of a whim than a rule - at the moment we are watching courts dismantle all cultural norms in real time.

A good absolute in any age would be that if you are convicted of raping children, your personal safety is forfeit.

The mileage of leftist judges and legislatures may vary.

That's part of the reason that I'm ok with changing the law so that my idea of punishment (molesters to get a dirt-nap) gets passed as lawful.

I also see a good law in felons that have served their time as done with the government and all of their rights restored, including 2A rights.
