Don’t watch the left hand while the right hand smacks you upside the head.
The end game is to criminalize Christianity.
The 10 commandments were removed from the court house if I’m not mistaken. Moore will lose this too (and the people of Alabama will lose) unless a much larger movement supports him.
We aren’t a theocracy.
Sign me up!
Does anyone know what mechanisms/remedies the Supreme Court has to enforce one of their rulings?
Would/could they ask the Justice Dept to send FBI agents to Alabama to enforce the law?
I’ve always been curious about this.
We’re a foolocracy now.
Obammy and the executive branch enforces the law (in theory). In reality he enforces whatever laws he agrees with. No doubt he’d agree with the SC on this one. Would be interesting to see the Alabama National Guard and the FBI etal stare each other down.
G-d bless this man! Too bad the media will take advantage of his geography and accent to “prove” how “evil” he is. And I’m sure when they say “this is just like jim crow” no Black minister anywhere in the State of Alabama will speak out for him.
A general public acceptance of Judeo-Christian ideas of good and evil has stood behind most American law. The problem with a democracy (even a representative one) is that it is only going to be as good as the “demographic.” It puts the responsibility with the people to embrace a valid goodness, or it will go all to hell as fast as the people do.
Personally, I insist that we have a bigger spiritual problem here. The tie between sex and marriage has been flouted every which way for decades before this present problem arrived on the scene. This is an opportunistic civic infection. It never had to be allowed room to grow, but then people would have had to be “spoil sports” about other licentiousness. They chose unwisely. The consequences have followed.
And even this is a sign of a bigger love problem, which is the need of acceptance of the love of God. No, of course this shouldn’t be legislated. That would be absurd. But what we do with our hearts, we can choose. And sometimes the Lord lets the results of refusing His love become pretty obvious before people get a clue.
You might want to park your sureness at the curb if you want to allow room for the Lord’s miracles.
Oh wait, you don’t.
I agree completely.
I don’t deny at all that our Constitution is derived from Christian values, and I support that. However, our laws aren’t outright written and enforced as such. (as Sharia Law is)
“...interesting to see the Alabama National Guard and the FBI etal stare each other down...”
Or it might be a column of militia in the face-off.
“Would be interesting to see the Alabama National Guard and the FBI etal stare each other down.”
If history is any indicator, it proably wouldn’t come down to that.
Back in 1962, JFK forced Ole Miss to accept the first black student. Kennedy feared that Mississippi’s governor would call out the Natl Guard to block the US marshals from bringing James Meredith on to campus.
He federalized them. The Guard was sent to stop the rioting around campus and in nearby Oxford.
Many of the Guardsmen weren’t keen on seeing Meredith admitted to Ole Miss but they had sworn an oath to the Constitution (and probably weren’t keen on being courtmartialed for insubordination) and they followed order from their commander in chief.
When Gov. Faubus refused to obey federal court orders to desegregate Little Rock Central High, President Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard, and then sent regular U.S. Army units in to back them up.
I never mentioned “theocracy,” which means being ruled by priests or by a church hierarchy. We are not one of those.
We are a CHRISTIAN REPUBLIC ruled under the recognition that all of our basic legal principles are derived from the Holy Bible and the Biblical worldview.
They used to teach that basic truth in our schools, until liberals ruined education.
I really respect Chief Justice Moore and wish him well.
The problem starts when a county clerk somewhere in a county courthouse decides to obey the USSCt. A majority of the Alabama Supreme Court must then vote on a court order; a single federal district judge can then restrain the ALSCt, and that order is enforceable by the US Marshals service.
Does the Alabama Attorney General or superintendent of state police then take on the Marshals’ Service?
The last line of defense will be the County Sheriffs.
Yeah, when I was in elementary school during the mid-80s, they actually took us on a bus to a church where we had a ‘Bible class’(or something like that) one day a week for an hour or so.
‘They’ would raise literal hell if that were even tried today.
I believe a County Sheriff outweighs a US Marshal.
DEFY !
