The intentional separation of law from morality has been going on since the 50's. The current acceptance of judicial activism must be stopped.
The first principle of law, known as natural law theory, ensures just laws by maintaining harmony between law and morality. Under natural law theory, laws that violate the moral precepts of natural law are invalid and unenforceable. This is the safety net that the Founders established in the Declaration of Independence.
The second principle, known as the declaratory theory of law, establishes the sovereignty of law over judges. The declaratory theory protects against judicial tyranny by separating the power to enforce law from the power to make law. The declaratory theory provides that judges enforce law by finding, declaring, and applying the law that already exists. It forbids judges, however, from making new law by legislating from the bench. Exactly what the leftists are demanding of the court, and why they hate Clarence Thomas so much. This is also where John Roberts begins to fail, followed by altering submissions and existing law.
Natural law theory is the most ancient tradition in Western jurisprudence. Early elements of natural law theory appear in Hesiod’s didactic poem “Works and Days” (c. 700 B.C.). Hesiod writes that just actions bring peace and prosperity. Unjust actions, however, bring famine, plague, infertility, and military disaster. (Biblical: seed, plant, harvest).
Justinian’s Institutes (AD 535) evaluates whether laws are just using three precepts of natural law. Natural law requires us “to live honestly, to injure no one, and to give every man his due.” Divine providence establishes these natural law precepts, which are immutable and universal.
Blackstone’s natural law theory commands us to ignore positive laws that violate natural law precepts, such as laws that punish or kill innocents. Blackstone argues that true laws must be just laws. Unjust laws, by definition, are not laws at all. There is no duty to obey them. THIS is what must happen. This, Blackstone's Law, plus the Bible, is where our laws came from and our lawful source definitions came from Webster's 1828 Dictionary, available online.

Any wonder we have problems with judges and attorneys?
