So what is your point? That I'm not spending time writing blogs about how broke up I am that foreigners are also being targeted? Ok, I'll go write a blog.

Personally I feel America is in a crisis right now, and I'd prefer to focus my energy on fighting something I actually have a legal basis for fighting and might win. We aren't talking morals, we are talking LAW.

Do you think that if we lose this in America, that will still be able to carry on and fight on your behalf?

Law is the codification of morality.

It's the codification of the parts of morality that we bargain & wrestle into a set of rules we decide to enforce.

Not all "morality" turns into law, nor is all law based on morale principals.

All law is based on value judgements, and, therefore, on moral principles.
