Uphold your oath of office, Mr. Cuccinelli
The election is over, and Ken Cuccinelli will now be attorney general. As a state senator, Mr. Cuccinelli made references to "natural law." Natural law has been used as a buzzword in the past to justify bigotry, hatred, and intolerance. Because Mr. Cuccinelli never hides his religious proclivity, can we assume he is referring to the St. Thomas Aquinas' version of natural law? To paraphrase, Aquinas based his theory on the idea of natural law being that of eternal law in God and reflects the order of which God directs things through nature for their own benefit. Many others embrace the "natural rights" notion as espoused by John Locke and incorporated into the U.S. Constitution. Locke was an advocate of separation of church and state, so we can see the origin of Lockean theory, which is widely accepted. Writing on religious freedom, Thomas Jefferson boldly wrote: "Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights." Mr. Cuccinelli was also quoted as saying he won't uphold abortion rights laws he feels are unconstitutional and he won't defend unconstitutional laws. News flash: Roe v. Wade is still the law! He will take an oath of office that states he will uphold the law. It doesn't say only those he agrees with or those that fit his religious views. Mr. Cuccinelli needs to leave his religion in the church or at home. Other elected officials seem to be able to do it. Bruce R.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident . . .
I did not know much about Mr. Cuccinelli. Sounds like he is a Christian. He will fit right in with the constitution and the intent of the founders and heralded by those who hold biblical values, and he will be sorely hated of the liberals. The next 4 years are promising for Virginia.
Before you start in on the new VA AG, why don't you clean house in your own party? Your two Senators, who both campaigned on a strong pro-2A platform, also both voted to confirm Eric Holder, who will go down as the worst, most anti-2A, anti-American AG in US history. He's made it plainly clear he hates the fact that law-abiding citizens own firearms, as all tyrannical governments do. These two blatantly LIED about their 2A position in their campaigns, and they will be fired for it in the next election.
and they declared state laws criminalizing abortions to be unconstitutional. And so women now have a right to LEGAL abortions, because that is THE LAW. And Ken Cuccinelli, the future Virginia Attorney General, will take an oath upholding the laws of the United States (not "God's Law").
An even brighter news fla[*#@!] Roe vs. Wade is NOT "law"
because courts do not make law! Only legislatures make law
and even then the law is valid only if it is in accord with God's
Law.
