You haven’t read my post clearly. I clearly stated that I’m not advocating for either position. I’m merely stating this discussion has reduced toThat may be your position, and obviously you are entitled to disagree with the law however futile that may be. But at least one other poster here clearly has absolutely no clue what the law says, and no interest in understanding it.
“The law says X.”
“But the law shouldn’t say X.”
“But the law says X.”
Again, I’m not taking up either position right now. But these aren’t natural laws. They are laws written by men and women and can be changed. People advocate for laws to be changed all the time. That’s how we got rid of segregation.
Sure you can argue that venting the disagreement here may be futile, but it’s still an intellectually valid argument to have to challenge existing laws. And to just keep saying “but the law is...” ignores peoples’ right to challenge the law in debate. Not disobey it. But challenge it in debate. I know we would like to think that the laws we agree with are sacred. But frankly they often are not.
