He is the brother of Andrew Cuomo, the present governor of New York and son of Mario Cuomo, former Governor of New York. Yet, he apparently doesn’t understand the concept of natural rights.
CNN host Chris Cuomo engaged in a somewhat fiery debate with Alabama Supreme CourtJustice Roy Moore over gay marriage, ultimately telling the top legal mind that God has little to do with making laws for humans and that rights come from a “compromise” of the collective….
Mr. Cuomo then said that “equal protection” is more certainly an issue for the Supreme Court to settle and that same-sex marriage falls into that category.
“Our rights do not come from the Constitution, they come from God,” Mr. Moore said, Raw Story reported.
And Mr. Cuomo’s reply?
“Our laws do not come from God and you know that,” he said. “They come from man. … Our rights do not come from God. That’s your faith, that’s my faith. But that’s not our country. Our laws come from the collective agreement and compromise.”
Part of his problem may be that he appears to conflate ‘rights’ with ‘laws’, not realizing one doesn’t equal the other.
