Civil Disobedience: Not Just For Leftists Anymore
Facebook Corner
(The Hill). "I think almost all land use issues and animal issues, endangered species issues, ought to be handled at the state level," Rand Paul said. "I think that the government shouldn't interfere with state decisions, so if a state decides to have medical marijuana or something like that, it should be respected as a state decision."
Just a start on the principle of Subsidiarity....
(Cato Institute). "Marriage is pre-political...If the United States government were to disappear tomorrow....would you consider yourself no longer married? I don't think you would."
I'm not married, but OF COURSE NOT. For Catholics like me, the "real" marriage is a sacrament. The institution of marriage existed before the start of English common law and American legal history. Now of course, the marriage construct will somewhat vary in context across faiths, non-believers, etc., but when an Authoritarian State transmutes the marriage construct, engaging in socially experimental policy with unintended consequences, it has lost credibility. It's just as if political or judicial whores tomorrow suddenly declared all residents over the age of 20 high school graduates; the only thing that would change perhaps would be the hiring criteria of managers.
