T’anks—many many T’anks for this awesome post.The photographic images of the US supreme Court Bldg. —surely they knew the Bill of rights when Congress and the Court approved that Federal building? And if they understood the Bill of Rights-and its first Amendment what does that say about what we have allowed? Will we take comfort in the supine waiting for another to do what we know is right? Will we wait until the enemy has used a corrupt and rudderless Court to destroy every symbolic gesture of who we were established to be? Will we let them take the Cape Henry Cross? That Cross of stone memorializing that first symbol erected in 1607? Will we let them melt down the LibertyBell? So the cry of the OWS can be the only proclamation. Or will we glorify the God our founding Fathers understood our laws must reflect those dictated by God Himself else they are not legitimate.As Blackstone and as our own James Wilson declared.
‘James Wilson’ Interesting. Can you pass us some links. I think I might need to quote him.
A start would be John Eidsmoe Christianity and the Constitution Baker Books ppb p44-45 note 6 -from the Works of wilson (Chicago,1896 James DeWitt Andres editor,Vol.1 p.91-93; quoted by Charles Page Smith James Wilson Founding Father Chapel Hill UNC Press 1956 p.329.John Eidsmoe introduced me to our US Constitution and Joseph Story as the public school failed to do. As James Wilson taught American Law from the College of Philadelphia during the Founding era—difficult as he can be at times -see some of his writings in the Debate on the Constitution 2 vol Library of America 6th printing ,1991 Bernard Bailyn it is good to know more of him-and of sir Wm Blackstone quoted more than any other but Montesquieu according to the work of Donald S.Lutz and Charles Hyneman The Relative Influence of European Writers on Late 18th Century American Political Thought American Political Science Review 189 (1994)—pp189-97.Blackstone sold more Commentaries in the American Colonies than he did in England.
