Your opinion, but a lot of Americans consider the DOI a legal document, as well as a declaration of war.The constitution is the wellspring of US law. It has it's basis in other documents but none of them can be considered law.
Nonsense!The constitution is the wellspring of US law. It has it's basis in other documents but none of them can be considered law.
It's not my opinion. The constitution was written to be the unambiguous basis for our legal system. Period. The DoI can certainly be called a legal document but it's not the law. When it was issued the law said the signers were traitors.Your opinion, but a lot of Americans consider the DOI a legal document, as well as a declaration of war.
Legal philosophies are not the law.Nonsense!
The Bill of Rights is predicated on the natural law of republicanism per the founding sociopolitical ethos of the Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of independence is a series of complaints that seek to justify breaking away from the colonizers. Nothing more.
The “liberals” of those days were different. That’s a certainty. And I can’t think of any more recent liberal nominees who have failed to deliver on their partisan political positions.That was the last time. Period. And his liberalism was classic liberalism, not the neo-Marxist insanity of the "liberals" of today.
I wasn't talking to you but apparently you think the Declaration of Independence is the law as well?Written by "old, dead, white men who owned slaves", right? So in other words, these words mean nothing about God-given inalienable rights, correct?
So in other words, I don't have to consider you as being equal to me. I'm free to believe that you're an inferior subhuman that doesn't deserve the same rights I have. You're probably an atheist anyway, so you don't believe in a "Creator." I can deprive you of your life any time I want to, imprison you, torture you, and claim all your possessions for myself, right? Because that document they wrote doesn't have anything to do with anything, except the British, right?
Ya dumb shit. Maybe you should go back and re-read it.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.."
Text of the Declaration of Independence
What are you talking about? The Bill of Rights is part of the Constitution, and the legislative record of the First Congress regarding the framing and adoption of the Bill of Rights emphatically predicates it on natural law theoryLegal philosophies are not the law.
Good grief! She keeps showing us who and what she is. ANd what she is isn't inside the judicial norm in any sense.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson: “I do not hold a position on whether individuals possess natural rights.”
Do you think the declaration of independence is law? Even the founders seemed to regard the concept of natural rights as a mere suggestion when it came to anyone not a white protestant land-owner.
Isn't historical perspective a wonderful thing?
Any constitutional "originalist" has to square their wish to return to the original intent of the founders with the way the founders wrote themselves a lot of rights few actually enjoyed.
Bullshit!Yes, the Declaration of Independence is law.
The Constitution makes no reference to “Natural Rights”
Judge Jackson is sworn to defend the Constitution not the Declaration of Independence
Which says nothing about Natural Rights
They are rights because they are specifically stated in the Constitution
I don’t have a problem with that
She supports the Constitution and the Constitution has no mention of Natural Rights…real or implied
British law said they were traitors. The DOI was telling the British that there was a new law for the American colonies.It's not my opinion. The constitution was written to be the unambiguous basis for our legal system. Period. The DoI can certainly be called a legal document but it's not the law. When it was issued the law said the signers were traitors.
Then why do we celebrate the 4th of July? You're confused.Bullshit!
It is NOT law and is not part of any law in these United States. I keep listening to you uneducated folks talk as thought it was, when nothing could be further from the truth! How can it be law when it predates the United States of America by 13 years?
Legal philosophies are not the law.
