Today's "Wake Up & Smell the Coffee" Moment
It has been repeatedly said, “you can’t legislate morality.”
This is absolutely false.
Morality has been the foundation of nearly every law created since man learned to write. Laws are nothing less than morality codified.
The question asked is not, “can we legislate morality?”
The question has always been: “Whose morality will we legislate by?”
(This has been another "Wake Up & Smell the Coffee" moment brought to you by your very own "I'm-tired-of-people-continuing-to-delude-themselves-so-that-they-can-feel-good-and-always-be-right" Law Student.)
