Comments by "Charles Brightman" (@charlesbrightman4237) on "The Kavanaugh Hearings: Your Questions Answered | NYT News" video.

NYT: Question: (Set-up): Judge Kavanaugh raises a question for me. Watching some of the hearing, it led me to believe that Kavanaugh was hiding behind the Constitution as far as nobody being able to utilize any sort of 'religious test' for his confirmation. This is how religious people infiltrate the government, to then pass laws, that then the police and even military at times are forced to enforce. But now, since religions can get exemptions from secular laws, can secularists get exemptions from laws that religious people put in place? What's good for one should be good for the other. It's like if religions don't want abortions, fine, a carve out in the laws for 'non-secularists'. For everybody else, could have 'secularists' laws, in this specific case, possibly even abortion for any reason at any time. And keep in mind, per even the Constitution, a baby in a mother's womb is not born yet and therefore is not an American citizen yet either entitled to the privileges and immunities that citizens have.

ArchesBro Hence is also why the system needs to be changed. Maybe even having one law with two sections in the law, one for secularists and one for 'non-secularists' (basically religions, but one couldn't call it religions.). For example, concerning abortion: Secularists section: Can have an abortion at any time for any reason. (And note, a baby in a mother's womb is not born yet and therefore is not a citizen of the USA yet and therefore has no citizenship rights, privileges, or immunities.) Non-secularists section: Absolutely positively no abortions for any reason at any time. Then, an American citizen could follow whichever section they wanted to follow without breaking the law. The Declaration of Independence says that the government is supposed to keep it's citizens 'safe and happy' in our system of self-governance. This above system would make me happy.

ArchesBro And oh, prove that God actually factually exists. If they can't, then they all might just be believing in fairy tales as if those fairy tales were really true, and without any sort of evidence to counter that claim, they couldn't prove any different either. So here again, why should society have to follow the laws of deluded individuals?

Tony Marselle It has to do with many previous Presidents trying to (and succeeding it appears) increasing the unitary powers of the Presidency. Basically, they are making themselves a King in a nation that is supposed to be a Democracy.

Tony Marselle Agreed, and to not just question, but act when necessary. For those who joined the military probably took the same oath I did, in part, to protect this nation and the Constitution from all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC. I didn't make the oath, the government did. I didn't write the Declaration of Independence, the founders of this nation did. I'm just trying to follow the prime directives in those documents like a good citizen should. And not only should, it is their duty to.

Tony Marselle If freedom isn't protected now, then it will either be lost or another war would be needed to get them back. At least if 'We The People' want to be free. What gets me though, where are all the people who are in government right now who took the same oath I did (that the government wrote by the way and had me take to be a part of the government over 4 decades ago) and are functioning under the same Declaration of Independence for this nation that I am, and all citizens are, being sovereign citizens in charge of the very existence of this government as well as how it actually functions. It is our right, even our duty, to set and maintain those high ideals of our forefathers. If not us, then who?
