Especially when it’s a lawyer and deals with rights and legislation every day

This may be bringing them out of the woodwork.. Had a dogmatic regressive around here just claim to ‘be a lawyer’ ...too many lawyers

Apparently you haven’t read the Declaration of Independence. The power of government comes from the people. The people are endowed with power at birth. Whether you say by God or by nature makes no difference—we call the shots.

At least that’s what we told King George. Are you implying that we should humbly request to be re-admitted to the U.K. as a colony?

But the bod in charge thinks he is god.

I bet they know better than to use that argument in court.
As for being educated, I'm guessing you had or have some friends you thought had a brain in their head but they are trump supporters. That should tell you that no one who you think is educated is necessarily educated. My college roommate is an actuary. Technically one of the most book smart people there is. He has no credibility left for me after being a trumper.

Incompetent theocrat .... alleged gawds give zero and are equal to zero .....natural rights are observed in nature ... he is the infringer regulating your ovaries and uterus while he had IN gawd WE TRUST put on my money when I was 3 years old ....government that does not protect personal sovereignty is fascism ....thus are the echoes of MUSSolini & TrumpOLINI

Jennifer, many people who do law, including legislators, use code words.
Terms like “god given” mean “If you push me any harder I will use violence”. Jefferson put at least one such term in the Declaration.

In England’s House of Commons, during their centuries of conflict with monarchs, members used with the phrase “Our ancient and undoubted rights” as a warning.

Admittedly though, many in elective offices pander to voters.

One persons view of well educated, is another's view of, highly indoctrinated and damaged by brain washing.
