This argument makes every single law moral. It also is telling you to not question laws that are in place. If "crime" is your definition of moral or immoral I'd love to hear your take on any of the civil rights movements of the last 100 years.
- mc32 5y agoYou litigate and appeal and go to your legislators and eventually you go to the Supreme Court and you make your case. I mean one is about basic rights the government owes us, the other is about us wanting the government to take more from particular people. The civil course is slower but the alternative is typically bloody revolutions or Hongweibings, both of which set back societies.
- selectodude 5y agoThe Supreme Court isn't a moral court. It rules on if a law is constitutional or not. Plenty of grossly immoral laws were considered constitutional by the Supreme Court and required new laws to be passed to repeal those immoral laws.
