>>My wife was born in Hungary during communist occupation<<

It’s amazing to find out how close we are to communism when you speak to ex-Soviet citizens.

I belong to a Slovak parish. They are terrified.

The USSC building is so delicate they've recently shut down the main entrance doors so any visitor has to go through what were originally "secondary doors".

I believe the idea is to keep Islamofascist belt bombers from knocking down the building but you never know. Could be Sotomayor is personally afraid of the Puerto Rican nationalist group (the crowd Bill Clinton pardoned).

What did the police do?

Did they read the riot act to moonbats for wasting their time claiming about a shotgun in Idaho?

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

Er.....complaining, NOT “claiming.” I need caffeine.

“...tell him to be fruitful and multiply...”

There was a story about Winston Churchill where he responded to Adolf Hitler’s demand that England surrender to Germany;

Mr. Churchill’s response, “Go ye forth and multiply.”

[ripley]

“I can understand that there are stupid policemen...”

It’s way beyond that now.

IMHO

The article now reads "A group of Christian students was allegedly ordered to stop praying outside the U.S. Supreme Court building..." The title also has the word "allegedly."

Did the word get added since this thread was started, or did the original poster omit it? I think it matters, one way or the other.

[Red in Blue PA]

I cut and pasted the original title last night. Must have changed.

[mware]

I think it has hit the fan,

Fox & FRiends are on it, and mentioned that there is an investigation going on now.

“What did the police do?”

They came and talked to the moonbats on the first floor, then left. They didn’t come upstairs, and I didn’t eavesdrop, so I don’t know what was said.

[dsc]

Great gardem.

(((envy)))

[ScottinVA]

But they're just FINE with this!!!

[tioga]

Too bad they didn’t continue to pray and get arrested. Would have been a great Supreme Court case.....

[Notasoccermom]

Is that really true? Have you experienced bad treatment of Christians by capital police or seen it?

I was being sarcastic...poking fun at how Prof. Gates responded to Boston police. I wish the people had kept praying.

Got one right here. Just found it cleaning out the garage. It’s b Kodak. The front lens cap pops back and lo and behold it has a FLASH built in. Similar to this ~

Just out of curiosity, what does that have to do with Genoa's 35mm SLR that does NOT have a flash built in? Are you suggesting that Genoa does not know anything about the photographic equipment he was using years ago?

[Genoa]

Thanks. Actually, I was the observer. But I’m pretty sure the guy had an old-fashioned SLR that required a flash attachment. The Nazi at the Archives was adamant that “no pictures” was her ruling. No respect, no explanation. Her way of enforcing “No Flash Pictures” was “No pictures!” It did make her job easier.

[Genoa]

By the way, times sure have changed in D.C. I was doing genealogical research in 1978 (the hard way, visiting the National Archives and the Library of Congress and making tons of photocopies). I carried my paperwork in a portable file case the size of a small piece of carry-on luggage. Walking from the LOC to the Archives, I strolled right through the Capitol Rotunda with my big case that could have been carrying God-knows-what, and no one even slowed me down.

[Styria]

Professional-level Canon SLRs don’t have an on-body flash.

To make a better learning experience for the students, the teacher should have asked the officer to explain what “law” the students were violating by peaceably assembling and engaging in an expression of their religion.

[Sopater]

“They were told to stop praying because they were violating the law and they had to take their prayer elsewhere,” Kellum told FOX News Radio.

Actually, the students were not breaking any law, but whoever was telling them to stop WAS breaking the law.
