Lizz Winstead Op-ed: Quit Trying To Get Crafty With Our Rights

Nonsense?

If a law says the government will not interfere with my right to eat cake, that is a law granting me the right to eat cake. With the law in place, any court or reasonable would agree that I have such a right, and without such a law in place, any court or reasonable would say, “There is no right to eat cake.”

But my freedom or right to eat cake is just as natural to me as my freedom to join a religion or to speak my mind. That is, to whatever extent the physical facts of the universe have conspired to allow me to do so, I am able to do so.
