The 1st Amendment reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

#1: Judge Moore is not Congress, he is free to do that which Congress may not do under the 1st Amendment.

Please go back to "remedial constitutional law." Its a real challenge to have an intelligent conversation with people who don't even have the most basic understanding of our constitutional jurisprudence.

Insulting one's intelligence is not a substitute for a good argument.

Fancy way of saying "I don't like what the Constitution actually says so we'll go by what I wish it said".

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

What we need to understand is that the Court is now above congress and can legislate from the bench [ie make laws], the Court is above the Constitution and can make whatever laws it dam# well pleases, and the Court considers itself to be above God. In other words, the Court's pride has reached the point it is heading for a fall.

The 1st Amendment reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

#1 If you have no good reply then keep your mouth shut rather than impugn my intelligence.

#2 You are no doubt referring to bad precedent and faulty interpretation of the clear, simple text of the 1st amendment when you imply that I don't know my "constitutional jurisprudence". Some Supreme Court judges willfully ignore or thwart the Constitution, and some are simply unable to form a coherent thought. Either way it's bad law.

Come on. Why are you being so G_d D_mned condescending to this person? If our COURTS had even the most basic understanding of the Constitution we wouldn't have every pinhead judge out there thinking he's going to get his name in the book for having some judicial revelation that no one has ever had before. Most of them aren't qualified to sit on a park bench, let alone a state or federal one. The Constitution was not written in such a way as to be understood only by lawyers; the lawyers have merely convinced us that that is true. The framers would go crazy if they could only see what sort of "limited" federal government we have to suffer under today. Impeachment is too good for most of the judges -- a firing squad is what comes to my mind. BTW, who told you your side of the conversation was any more intelligent than anyone else's?

Abe Froman's comments reflect the Constitution as written and intended. Your post-modern jurisprudence reflects the Constitution as warped and twisted beyond recognition by liberal judicial activists.
