The New Natural Law

Today as I was grading my Applied Ethics essays in Starbuck's I was sitting next to a third year law student from the top-ranked Florida Law School, Stetson.

As he was tending to presumably studying case after case in preparation for an exam, I was diligently reading how Ethics is conceived of by college students in 2007 U.S. higher education.

What was especially striking about my conversations with this law student was how we were both on the same side of the "political fence" arguing for a Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia "textual" interpretation of American jurisprudence. We both agreed that the only way that the United States of America can be governed is NOT by continuing the practice of judicial constructivism (both liberal a la Roe v. Wade AND conservative a la Chief Justice Roberts who does not adhere closely enough to the text of the Constitution apparently!). Rather, instead of constructing judicial law out of thin air (always a bad idea, and the sign of a tyrannical regime!), whatever the Constitution and whatever laws that Congress passes and the President signs into law, whether we like it or not, IS THE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

We ended the conversation with me wrapping up my essay grading, the law student bidding farewell and each of us returning to the battle that looms ahead for the United States of America.

* Will we as the United States of America continue to pass laws in direct opposition to the Natural Rights documents of the founding of our Republic such as the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?

* Will our federal judges, liberal and conservative, continue to exercise judicial tyranny by inventing law "out of thin air" through false legal constructs that again have no actual textual support nor foundation?

* Will our nation continue to perpetrate war crimes such as torturing our enemies to extract information and holding them indefinitely in prison without due process under American law?

Please support this grass-roots effort to make America safe again for democratic rule.
