Less law means a freer nation - good, bad and ugly.
Omnipotent enforcement of less laws, and only those few laws (relatively speaking), means a more just and freer nation. The solid essence of a free and just nation is governed by omnipotent enforcement of guaranteeing & protecting the natural, God-endowed inalienable liberties of every individual first, and all else after. It's hard to imagine a more free and just nation than that. American Republican Form of Government rule of law:
Two wolves and a lamb vote for what they'd like to eat for dinner; since each is Created equal with inalienable individual rights, the meal cannot be any of the three. Period. End of story. Move on. Authoritarian democratic rule of feel: Two wolves and a lamb vote for what's for dinner and a simple majority gets to eat what they like because democracy is simply what the majority feels, regardless of any individual so-called "rights" under any constituted law. One's pure lawlessness, the other's not. 1 vote for Biden
+ 1 vote for Trump = 2 votes for continued unconstitutionally authoritarian US federal government The Constitution's republican rule of law IS America's playbook. Virtually every one of America's unnecessary problems on the political field today stems straight from not adhering to that playbook.
Why? Because democracy's rule of man/majority playbook says everyone can play however they want. Thus America's long, long losing streak goes on. As a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, a nation is only as free as its every individual's liberty remains inalienable. First, declare that you revere their individual liberty as inalienably as you revere your own. Then ask them if they revere your individual liberty as inalienably as they revere their own. If they naturally and easily answer yes, the discussion is worth having. If they don't, it's not. When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. It's been written that the most intense debating among the Second Continental Congress concerning the final The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America product to be presented to the world occurred over the following Thomas Jefferson-penned paragraph: He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the Christian King of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a market where Men should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this execrable commerce. And that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people on whom he has obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed again the Liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another. Whether the most strenuous objections to the paragraph came from delegates from the pro-slavery States of South Carolina and Georgia, or from northern State delegates who represented many directly involved commercially in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, or from still-loyal delegates to the King & Parliament is perpetually debatable, the paragraph was voted by the Second Continental Congress to be entirely deleted from what we now call the Declaration of Independence. So, so sad, because it would take another eighty-nine and a half years of American anti-slavery struggle, including maybe a million American lives sacrificed in "civil war" over that struggle, before America was finally able to totally eradicate the evil of human slavery from its shores. Let the record show that when history presented the 45th President of the United States of America with the perfect opportunity to firmly stand upon patriotic ground he pledged he'd never surrender, Donald J. Trump skipped town. |
