The Ten Commandments

The Supreme Court splits on two decisions they had no Constitutional right to hear!

This morning the Supreme Court Kings made a decision in the McCreary County v. American Civil Liberties Union case. They found that the printed forms of the historical document (the Ten Commandments) are prohibited inside Courthouses.

They say that the two exhibits in a Kentucky Court house are in violation of Church and State. Once again we lose our Civil and Religious Liberties at the hands of the Supreme Court and the ACLU, based on imaginary clauses that are NOT in the Constitution. Separation of Church and State is no more a part of the Constitution than a woman's right to murder her unborn child. Yet it is upon these findings that anti-Christians destroy our rights.
What we as Christians are witnessing, is the legislation and erosion of our rights to be Christians. You see, when these Liberals are done ripping up our founding documents and removing Christian morals from public view, it is only a matter of time until just being a Christian in America will be illegal.

Now as for the other ruling from the leaders of our Oligarchy. The Texas State Capitol has asix foot Ten Commandments monument on it's lawn.

The Court found that this is a historical monument and does not qualify as, 'overtly religious statements' like the Kentucky Court House documents. Tell me, how is it that identical documents displayed differently in different states can be considered to have different meanings? They can't. The reason they found this way is so that they can set precedence that allows them to rule differently in every case that comes before them. Imagine the confusion that is to come. What this accomplishes is that it effectively causes individuals to question the legality of every instance where they may want to display God's word. Most, the Court hopes, will be so reluctant that they will opt not to erect a display just to be safe. The Supreme Court has no right to decide this case. They have clearly overstepped their juristiction here.

The idea of trying to make sure that ' Constitutionalist Justices' are the majority in the Supreme Court is just not working. Case in point, Reagan's appointments. Sandra Day 'OConner who was stellar in fighting for property owner's rights last week, cast the deciding 'swing' vote in the Kentucky case and also dissented on the Texas case. So while we have three, truly Constitutionalist Judges on the court, we have one middle of the road Conservative ('OConner), one middle of the road Liberal (Anthony M. Kennedy) and four Liberal activists. If we tweak the membership after Rhenquist steps down, we still may not end up with a court that upholds the founder's intent. The only answer to this problem is to make the Supreme Court a TRULY equal 3rd branch of Government. This can be accomplished by having their rulings be subjected to Veto by a two thirds majority of the Legislative and executive branches. Without that, and possibly term limits, we will continue to live in an Oligarchy not a Representative Republic.

"On September 11, 2001 I was attending in Rome, Italy an international conference of judges and lawyers, principallyfrom Europe and the United States. That night and the next morning virtually all of the participants watched, in their hotel rooms, the address to the Nation by the President of the United States concerning the murderous attacks upon the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, in whichthousands of Americans had been killed. The address ended, as Presidential addresses often do, with the prayer “God bless America.” The next afternoon I was approached by one of the judges from a European country, who, after extending his profound condolences for my country’s loss, sadly observed “How I wish that the Head of State of my country, at a similar time of national tragedyand distress, could conclude his address ‘God bless______.’ It is of course absolutely forbidden.”That is one model of the relationship between church and state—a model spread across Europe by the armies of Napoleon, and reflected in the Constitution of France, which begins “France is [a] . . . secular . . . Republic.” France Const., Art. 1, in 7 Constitutions of the Countries of the World, p. 1 (G. Flanz ed. 2000). Religion is to bestrictly excluded from the public forum. This is not, and never was, the model adopted by America. George Washington added to the form of Presidential oath prescribed by Art. II, §1, cl. 8, of the Constitution, the concluding words “so help me God.”The SupremeCourt under John Marshall opened its sessions with the prayer, “God save the United States and this Honorable Court.” The First Congress instituted the practice of beginning its legislative sessions with a prayer. Marsh v. Chambers, 463 U. S. 783, 787 (1983). The same week that Congress submitted the EstablishmentClause as part of the Bill of Rights for ratification by the States, it enacted legislation providing for paid chaplainsin the House and Senate. Id., at 788. The day after the First Amendment was proposed, the same Congress that had proposed it requested the President to proclaim “ a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed, by acknowledging, with grateful hearts, the many and signal favours of Almighty God.” President Washington offered thefirst Thanksgiving Proclamation shortly thereafter, devotingNovember 26, 1789 on behalf of the American people “ ‘to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that is, that was, or that will be,’ ”(quoting President Washington’s first Thanksgiving Proclamation), thus beginning a tradition of offering gratitudeto God that continues today.
