De Novo channels Posner:
Drawing some laughter, he called civil liberties "the religion of the liberal left." Posner says there is a religious, dogmatic, strongly emotional and unreasoned aspect to the advocacy for civil liberties, with the Constitution as sacred document, like the Bible, and Constitutional freedoms the articles of the faith.
Right. "endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights" - so i guess jefferson was a commie. If I were more motivated I'd also quote from the Indiana Bill of Rights,
