LBJ. At least half of everything that is wrong with this country today can be traced to that smarmy bigeared somofabitch.
Ryan and company need to get to work writing bills that mirror Trump's EOs. These guys like to write laws, so that should get at it and support Trump's work.
Incorrect.The Executive Order does not roll back the Johnson Amendment. Per the Constitution, that would require a bill passed by Congress and signed by the President. - Carl Vehse
The 1st Amendment already invalidates the Johnson amendment.
Hear, hear! But of course, there cant be a test case of that if Trump doesnt enforce the Johnson Amendment.. . . so it would be proper to push repeal in Congress, while the tax code is being amended to cut income tax rates.
That's a common misconception -- just because the supreme court says something is constitutional doesn't actually make it constitutional -- you see, the Constitution commissions the supreme court [thus they have no legitimate authority to alter the Constitution], and being a commissioned entity the supreme court cannot have authority greater than that of the commissioner. (This is, of course, reiterating what Jesus said. [Jn 13:16 and Matt 10:24])
That’s a common, correct conception.
Oh, they can’t put a letter into the constitution, but they can put whatever lens they please between it and We The People.
It is a philosophical necessity, as long as it is viewed as a work of man.
Black dem churches never seemed to be held to that rule.
