This is one of the best articles I've read and Romney should have said it in one of the debates when people were watching. The Second Law of Thermodynamics doesn't work on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. It wouldn't be a law if that were true. Human laws, like scientific ones, must be invariable in application or be a promiscuous application of tyrannical power. That law and power are not the same can never be stressed enough. Law contains even those who hold power to make law, which is what makes it so necessary. Even God is constrained by His Testaments. Only the rebellious angel, preferring to rule in hell than serve in heaven, hold law to be a thing made of clay to be bent to his will and fancy. Your point about every law passed by every congress and signed by every president is right: it's the law, to be executed faithfully without fear or favor until overturned by the court or repealed by congress.

The Patriot Post is a highly acclaimed advocate of Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and the promotion of free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. We believe, as did our Founders, that Essential Liberty must be defended at any cost. "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." (Ben Franklin) · "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." (John Adams) · "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." (Thomas Jefferson) · "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." (Thomas Paine) · "It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" (Samuel Adams) · "Give me liberty or give me death!" (Patrick Henry) · "Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!" (George Washington)
