"Are laws themselves superseded by God?" I asked him in an interview on my radio program in 2011. "I think you're correct in saying that," he [Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore] answered. "This is a Christian nation by the fact that 90% of the churches in America are Christian churches and it's certainly founded upon Christian principles. The supreme law of the land is the Constitution of the United States which recognizes many of those principles. Our freedom to believe what we want comes from God. When it comes from God, no man or no court, can take it away. That's a God-given right under the Declaration of Independence, which is law itself."

Good grief. If you cannot spot the difference between natural law (which is susceptible to reason) and divine law, you ought to be in a different job.
I wonder what the Christian principles in the Constitution are meant to be. Did I miss ten commandments? Or love they neighbour? Or blessed are the meek?
If there's only divine law in the founding docs, turn back the clock. There's no justification for the declaration of independence. The divine right of kings must supercede a person's unalienable rights.
