Liberty Preexists Government
This was tweeted from a Supreme Court Justice of Texas, Justice Don Willett:
"Liberty is not provided by govt; liberty *preexists* govt. It is not a gift from the sovereign; it is our natural birthright. Fixed. Innate."
It is important for Americans to remember what John Locke helped humanity remember. I am glad that a Supreme Court Justice from Texas drew attention to an important idea. If you have Twitter and would like to follow him, his handle is @JusticeWillett.
