On Friday afternoon, House Speaker David Ralston joined host Bill Nigut and I for some conversation on GPB’s “Political Rewind.”

Many topics were touched, and you can listen to the entire exchange here. Perhaps most important was Ralston’s contention that an end to gridlock in Washington was a reason to give the “religious liberty” issue a rest come January – and let Congress take a crack at it.

The House speaker also said it would be “irresponsible” not to consider the apparent defeat of North Carolina’s governor, who signed legislation similar to the measure that Gov. Nathan Deal vetoed last spring.

Here in GA, the GOP is really the Chamber of Commerce. If Hillary had won, they'd probably all declare themselves liberal Democrats. Our formerly-Democrat governor sure delighted in vetoing last year's bill to prevent ministers from being required to do gay marriage ceremonies.

The feds have no constitutional say in these GA state matters.

Congress has perverted the religious liberty intent of the Constitution. Trump has a much clearer view than all them supposed Conservatives out there.

Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties. Abraham Lincoln

Amendment I. 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.

We all know the LSM IS CORRUPT!

Soon on my website https://sonsofconstitutionalliberty.com/ will be the discussion of why the Incorporation Doctrine should be abandoned as one of the major false justifications for unconstitutional expanse of federal power during the last 100 years.

The fact is, the first ten amendments are aimed DIRECTLY at the feds and NOWHERE else. The feds are BOUND by these amendments, they are NOT empowered to enforce them against the states.

My state senator, Josh McKoon, is NO Dem or RINO. He wrote and championed the Georgia Religious Liberty Bill that Deal killed.
