Joe Biden hates Natural Law

Biden, Obama’s current VP candidate - and remarkably, a Catholic Christian - repeatedly asked Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on the question of natural law during his confirmation hearings with the Senate in 1992. Biden was offended that Thomas believed in natural law, which led him to believe that Thomas supported property rights and absolute morality.
In response, Thomas told Biden that if you don’t believe in natural law then what do you believe? Man made law? Thomas said that those who reject a Divine Law - or a Natural Law - essentially reject morality.
I cannot stand Clarence Thomas (he has admitted once and again that he has been inspired by both Straussian and Randian political theory, both extremes are disgusting branches of the Right and conservatism - Leo Strauss was an Atheist Jew who advocated “noble lies” to the public to establish order and make them obey and was inspired by Abraham Lincoln’s curbing of civil liberties while Ayn Rand was an Atheist Libertarian who hated selflessness and stated selfishness was a virtue) but that was a beautiful response.
