re: #344 ClaudeMonet

BTW, did anyone notice how Coburn used the phrase, “God-given inalienable rights”? IIRC that’s not a quote from anywhere in the Declaration or the Constitution.

Preamble to the Declaration:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

There you go. Not much room for interpretation.
