Genealogy of Morals

We cannot argue that there is a *true* moral good, but rather that an interpretation of what constitutes moral good has come to be imposed upon others and has become law.

Structure of the Federal Court System
The Constitution establishes the Supreme Court but doesn’t mention other federal courts.
