No one can touch our freedoms legally, because they come from God not man. Because our freedoms are not man given, man cannot take them from us, a fact that guards us and makes us unique in all the world. This is what is being attacked by the courts who want to throw God off their backs and cut the bonds that hold Americans freedom in God's hand and not man's hands.
It's dangerous and irresponsible, it smacks of an agenda that seeks a power over us above the power of God, and needs to be held in the upmost contempt of court.
Profound prescience. This is a real danger. It happens here first, on FR.
Wrong, Alan. The liberal Federal judiciary has for decades been making its own unconstitutional law based "penumbras and emanations" and the chickens are now coming home to roost, that is all. This decision -- and many others in recent decades -- deserves our contempt. This reaction has been far too long in coming. It is the law itself that has been prostituted by an unprincipled Liberal federal judiciary and this "under God" fiasco is the logical continuation of a long-standing trend. The people are not at fault, Alan. The people are contemptuous of this and other rulings because these decisions and laws are unconstitutional and deserve contempt.
Yes, we do, but they must earn our respect.
For the sake of preserving our liberty, we need to insist that the courts begin again to deserve the respect from a free people that makes their work possible.
Some have been trying to do this for decades, without success.
Bringing such discipline to the judiciary is, at bottom, a political task.
But the politicians have been wilful cowards, Alan, and more than willing to ignore principal.
It is one more essential job that only a principled and vigilant citizenry can accomplish.
How, Alan? BS, Alan. The Federal judiciary does not listen to us unless there is a massive outcry, such as in the current instance. If the law becomes a prostitute, should she be treated like a lady? That is hypocrisy. If Federal judges subordinate the law to their liberal agenda, as has been done for decades, by what logic does such law deserve our respect?
The liberal Federal judiciary is finding that by undermining the Constitution, they undermine the law and their own authority. This should be no surprise. But so long as the liberal Democrats in the Senate are willing to play politics with principal, this will continue to happen, and there is no sign whatever that they will "get religion". Where is our choice, Alan?
