Episode Synopsis


In The “Right to Privacy” and the “Right” to Sin, R.J. Rushdoony critiques the modern legal reinterpretation of the U.S. Constitution, particularly how the Supreme Court has turned the “right to privacy” into a judicial shield for sin. He argues that while the state increasingly intrudes upon churches, families, and businesses, it simultaneously protects and sanctifies moral rebellion—especially in areas like abortion and homosexuality. According to Rushdoony, this distorted use of the Bill of Rights undermines true liberty, replacing God-given moral order with state-sanctioned lawlessness and paving the way for cultural and political tyranny.
