@NolteNC liberal logic 101

During a debate about gay marriage with Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, CNN host Chris Cuomo pegged the source of our rights:

Arguably not the most troubling statement Cuomo made during that interview >>> "Rights come from law." @NolteNC

That’s not our country? Founding Fathers unavailable for comment.
@NoahCRothman Didn't the founders of our country say that our rights come from God?

So @ChrisCuomo says Jefferson lied when he wrote that men are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights"? @NoahCRothman

Yes, the text of the Declaration of Independence disagrees with Cuomo:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
“Creator” translates to “government officials who write the laws” in Cuomo’s world, and he reiterated his position after the Moore interview:

“@thecivilcomment: @ChrisCuomo explain to all of the world: where or from whom do our rights come if not from God?” Law, agreed by us

Rights come from laws … what could possibly go wrong?
@NolteNC So what happens when we have a President who ignores the law?
