Can someone point out the part of the Constitution that gives elected officials, bureaucratic experts, or Judges the authority to make "Moral Judgments"?

jwalsh07:
Article 1, Section 7.

Can you cite the reference to 'moral judgment' within Article 1, Section 7?

Every time you see the word "Law" think morality because every law has at it's base a moral component. Whether or not you agree with the moral component at the base of the law is immaterial to whether every law has a moral component.

That says nothing about whether the moral component is moral, amoral or immoral and it says nothing about whther or not the law is constitutional. It's simply a fact that all laws reflect the morality of the lawmaker.

Pol Pot had one set of laws based on his morality and Moses reflected a somewhat different view when he came down from the mountain.

Why argue tautologies?
