US Supreme Court refuses to block removal of Ten Ccommandments from Alabama courthouse.

[Southack]

"Your argument must be pretty weak if you must make up straw men to argue against."

"You took my sentence about "no ten commandments displays in courthouses" completely out of that context and started posting pictures of SCOTUS, built in the 1930s, as if that somehow proved me wrong. But that is typical for your defective logic."

Incorrect. I simply posted a couple of examples that contradicted your wild-eyed claim that no court displayed the 10 commandments. I also didn't make up a straw man, and certainly didn't do so in regard to our Founders (whom I never even mentioned).

Now what is the time-frame?

A Freeper Road-Trip may be in order!!

"Can we look forward to the ACLU, howitzer in tow, leveling anything they deem to be religious?"

Oh but Moore made mistakes. Therefore, we should all turn on him. Time to eat our own, don't you know?

[Catspaw]

Not a rumor.

I just saw some limp, handcuffed bodies being removed from the Alabama Supreme Court Building on Fox.

If I'm not mistaken, some of the protesters said they were willing to be arrested. It looks like they got their wish.

Let's be real clear, so your limited grey matter can grasp it. I don't care if you never mentioned them. What you call my "wild-eyed" claim that there were no Ten Commandments displays in courthouses was a reference to the time of the Founders. I don't care if you can't read, that's the context of the exchange which you purposefully took out of context to try to post the same crap you've posted about 40 times already. Your post proves NOTHING. It proves that in the 1930s, the US government put the ten commandments and a bunch of other religious and secular sources of law on a wall. That's all.

naw...i'd rather just shoot 'em and skin 'em and cook 'em live on cnn or even better regis and kelly or whoever the "lady" of the moment is.....grilled communist judge in sauteed butter sauce should raise the ratings.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

The point of argument, believe it or not, is that the words aren't seen on the tablets in the Supreme Court. That makes it all okay, even though God's name is invoked in prayer before every session of congress. When will the ACLU sue congress?

[TexasCajun]

There are about a Billion Muslims in the world...is that a crackpot religion to you?

YES!! -- I'm convinced more each and every day!

"I simply posted a couple of examples that contradicted your wild-eyed claim that no court displayed the 10 commandments."

Your posts contradict nothing. My "wild-eyed claim" was talking about the time of the Founders. If you think you can contradict that, have at it.

[Southack]

"What you call my "wild-eyed" claim that there were no Ten Commandments displays in courthouses was a reference to the time of the Founders."

Then you should say what you mean. Instead of claiming that no courthouse displays the ten commandments, you should have claimed that no courthouse at the time of our Founders displayed them.

Words mean things.

[lugsoul]

Did you read the entire post? Or the post I was responding to?

Can you even read?

[beelzepug]

Nobody is threatening to shoot judges, you misunderstand me. A firing squad is a body of legally appointed executioners, carrying out a lawful sentence imposed by a court after it has found a traitor guilty. Simple as that.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

"Let's be real clear, so your limited grey matter can grasp it."

LOL. Amazing. Lugsoul, is it really worth talking to southack that way? I realise your argument is difficult and frustrating, but it doesn't help to take your frustrations out on southack.

[MrLee]

Yup, and a very violent one too.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I'd be happy if congress uses the constitutional remedy, judical impeachment.

"At the same time, God is invoked as the one to trust on every penny. I guess everyone who spends money should be held in contempt?"

I believe that the day will soon come when "In God we trust" will be removed from US currency. Seperation of church and state ya know. The push is on and there is not enough political will to stop it. Ultimately, if some of us don't get a little backbone, we will see the day when the practice, or even mention of, religion is restricted to strictly private venues.

I say we bring out the proverbial rail, tar and feather the judges and run them out on it. Impeachment is something that exists to deal with tyrants who attempt to act against our constitution. Time to put it to use.

[The Wizard]

the4 no-balls court at least gave us GWB

[Havoc]

I'm serious, we should organize a movement to impeach the judges that handed down the decision. Not one, all of them!

[lugsoul]

Yes, it is - Southack is purposefully taking my statement out of context in an effort to argue against something that not only do I not contend, but is not consistent with the position I've taken all over this thread - which is that Ten Commandments displays in MOST instances, but not this one, are appropriate and completely legal. I have also frequently pointed to the 11th Circuit's allowance of the Richmond County, Georgia display two weeks before the Moore decision.

Southack wants to ignore that I was responding to this statement of yours: "because it is rare to encourage faith generically, the way our founding fathers did, and the way Judge Roy Moore is doing, following their footsteps" - and instead wants to take a snippet of my post and claim she is contradicting a position I am not even taking.
