I said it added very specific provisions to the Constitution, not open-ended "natural law" mumbo-jumbo that basically says to judges that they can legislate however they damn well please.

You may be confused on what constitutes natural law. At its very finest and bedrock core foundation is this:

Article 1:  No person, group of persons, or government may initiate force, threat of force, or fraud against any individual's self or property.
Article 2:  Force may be morally and legally used only in self-defense against those who violate Article 1.
Article 3:  No exceptions shall exist for Articles 1 and 2.

When a person is confused about this core foundation of natural law I ask them when they want to initiate force against a person or their property... Or, would they hire agents (government agents) to initiate force on their behalf -- thus the two become co-conspirators. If still confused I ask them when they want force initiated against themselves or their property.

Sounds cool, but in that particular post, I was talking about what the Constitution says, not what it should say.
