The Left may not be good for much, but they’ll always be a huge fount of inspiration for satirical humor. 😀

Lex Rex vs. Rex Lex

In 1644, Samuel Rutherford, a Scottish commissioner at the Westminster Assembly in London, wrote a radical little book called Lex Rex (Law is King, or the Law & the Prince.) His contention, that the King was not the Law (Rex Lex) – the Law was King, was an earth-shattering concept to 17th century Europeans. So much so, that his book was banned in England and Scotland, and Rutherford himself was condemned to death. The Scottish Parliament didn’t get the satisfaction; he died before the sentence could be carried out.
 
Lex Rex asserted that the law is founded on the Law of God, and as such, is preeminent over any monarch. Therefore, if the king and the government disobey the law, they are to be disobeyed. Pretty radical! This was a direct assault on “the divine right of kings.” In essence, Rutherford was saying that the king (or any other government) must assent to the Law of God.
 
The principle of Lex Rex was central to, and enshrined in, America’s founding documents. Now the statists are progressively turning it on its head! The divine right of “kings” is returning with a vengance. And that’s no laughing matter!
