When appeals to rational thought or argument fail, side-step logic and use metaphysical constructs ('it is immoral' in your arguments.
In employing this evasion of rational thought one is claiming to have something that science can’t explain.
Morality used in such a facile manner by Pelosi is no more than political casuistry (the use of clever but unsound reasoning, especially in relation to moral questions); it is beyond belief that this piece of political sophistry is still being debated in the US and in the view of many on this side of the water, it demonstrates that the US is a profoundly uneducated and adolescent country,
The argument against Pelosi moral claim should go as follows:
Does morality inhere in us as say, the sting in the bee?
Does morality have Universal applicability?
Is morality causa sui (self caused) ?
A moral claim provides Pelosi a kind of inner detachment but in reality is the escape clause of hiding out in the metaphysical.
Why have commentators in the US not put her to the rack for he faux moral clams
