I was reading an old article (1/6/07) in First Things (at http://www.firstthings.com/article/2007/01/common-law-liberty-rethinking-american-constitutionalism) by Robert F. Nagel. It was about some of the rational ideas contained in a book by James R. Stoner titled Common-Law Liberty: Rethinking American Constitutionalism. What stirred my curiosity was the explored dichotomy between straight common law and the growing tendency to form policy from the bench.
New to me were the twin notions that common law depends on legal precedent, and that common law is increasingly seen as part of an “exalted image” jurists and constitutional scholars have of themselves. It may be this “image” that corrupts common law with purely subjective inferences, based on supposedly newly acquired “knowledge” of changing culture.
Roe v. Wade, we would all agree, was a judicial abomination. But Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which could have overturned Roe v. Wade, didn’t, and the reason was Constitutional Jurisprudence; the value placed upon legal precedent. And that is to say, common law. Roe v. Wade, in the first place, should not have been adjudicated at the federal law level, because no such law ever existed before Roe v. Wade, and abortion is outside the limited and enumerated powers of the federal government. That makes it a matter of local community standards. Thus the right to abort someone became federal common-law legal precedent, in a case that should not have even been adjudicated at the federal level.
Another area of significant interest touched on freedom of speech, in which the Court seems to be constructing protections for “defamation, profanity and fighting words” into an absolute right. To me, no right should be absolute. Everything should have reasonable limits. In multiple pages in this site I have opposed absolute rights to speech as well as religion, culminating in the Outlaw Marxism and Outlaw Islam pages. It seems to me that we should not be legally required to tolerate systems that seek our national doom, and the doom of the very constitution that grants us the rights of freedom of speech and religion.
While I would not oppose anyone’s right to promote Marxism
or to evangelized Islam in the public square, I would oppose any such person the right to entry into
any candidacy, office or armed force that requires an oath to defend the
constitution. Marxism and Islam clearly
oppose the constitution, so adherents could not honestly take such an oath
anyway. Nor should they be allowed any position of trust in our society. We should not be legally required to invite our own avowed conquerors or murderers to dinner.
As usual, I seem to be in the minority here. Read the article yourself and let me know your thoughts.
Have a blessed Holy Week.

Language and Tone Statement
Please note the language and tone of this monitored Website. This is not the place to just stack up vulgar one-liners and crude rejoinders. While you may support, oppose or introduce any position or argument, submissions must meet our high Roman Catholic and Constitutional American standards of Truth, logical rigor and civil discourse. We will not participate in merely trading insults, nor will we tolerate participants merely trading insults. Participants should not be thin-skinned or over sensitive to criticism, but should be prepared to defend their arguments when challenged. If you don't really have a coherent argument or counter-argument of your own, sit down and don't embarrass yourself. Nonsensical, obscene or blindly and doggedly repetitious anti-Catholic, antisemitic, anti-American, immoral or merely insulting submissions will not be published here. If you have something serious to contribute to the conversation, be prepared to back it up, keep it clean, keep it civil, and it will be published. We humbly apologize to all religious conservative thinkers for the need to even say these things, but the Hard Left is what it always was, the New Leftist Liberals are what they are, and the Internet is what it is.

Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and
Broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in
thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life:
and few there are that find it! Beware of false prophets, who come to you in
the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
