We had Jim Crow laws —>Rosa Parks -—> Martin Luther King Jr. -—> Civil Rights Act of 1964.

We can follow that model.

If a book is your favorite, the least you could do is be familiar with it. Yet, when asked what his favorite Bible verse is, his reply was “It’s personal”.

________

I agree. “It’s personal” may just mean “I don’t have one.”

But we are now in a new era. One in which the Left gets to blatantly ignore the “Law,” as long as it furthers their agenda. The “Law” now exists only as a weapon against conservatives. The whole banana-republic paradigm.

The “Law” no longer merits any respect or allegiance.

AKA, I don’t read it ( that’s what I personally suspect ).

A war of faith could be bloodless, or almost, except of course for the blood of Calvary.

What Poland did with Solidarnosc, with their churches behind it (and taking Jesus seriously, not talking about a denominational thing here) is an example.

That is a total inversion of the truth!

He has demonstrated that he has zero respect for marriage (especially his own) and great love for the freedom to have any woman he lusts for.

I assume that his supporters are exactly like him.

Well, there IS a bigger one, the loss of faith altogether.

I believe the Lord allowed this to happen as a challenge to get faith to see the importance of rallying.

You are so free with the condemnations that you lose credibility, which is a shame because you have so many good insights otherwise.

One candidate has argued (and won numerous times) before SCOTUS. Sen. Cruz is solid in his legal opinion that she has a case. Of course a judge can hold anyone in contempt in his court. And that judge can be impeached too.

Okay from Rosa Parks getting arrested to the 1964 was 11 years.

In the meantime what do you think Trump and Cruz can do. And will those actions help them in the GOP AND in the general election?

The fact you labeled Franklin Graham a televangelist was a bigger tell to me about you than Trumps remarks about Kim were about him

I’m under no illusion tha Trump is a culture warrior per FR standards

But his bombast does encompass us more than not

Are you sure that many of them really see it as a condemnation?

This is the new America; get up to speed.

Have we ever agreed on anything ever before?

Will this require that one of us change our view about this immediately? If so, it’ll have to be you.

Nothing.

Any common sense person can see the condemnations, and if they like I are actually immersed in Christ, doubly so.

Quit playing silly asinine games in the name of the Lord, is my advice, which you are of course free to ignore.

There is a simple solution to this problem and it is in the constitution.

LET THE STATES DECIDE WHAT MARRIAGE LAWS THEY WANT.

North Carolina already has an opt out law for government officials who cannot in good conscience, honor what they consider a sham marriage.

So far, 5% of the officials have taken advantage of it.

Any President worth his salt can DEMAND that Congress pass a law similar to North Carolina and apply it FEDERALLY.

And any Congress worth its salt ( not sure about the current one ), will pass this law.

Okay, as far as letting the states decide, SCOTUS has overruled the states. So the remedy to that is to execute one of the checks on judicial power. Impeachment, removal of authority, etc.

NC opt out law probably hasn’t yet been tested with a federal challenge. Unless it provides a remedy such as an alternative process or person whereby SCOTUS’s abominated ruling can be satisfied, it too will be overruled by federal courts.

But a Federal version of that NC law is certainly worth trying.

If Trump's willing to go with ONE standard... the same one for liberals as conservatives - I'm OK with this... We should all follow the law... Not liberal elites above it and traditional Americans held to the highest standard possible. That said, civil disobedience is part of the culture and this case should go to the Supreme Court... *(after Trump has made some appointments)

RE: But a Federal version of that NC law is certainly worth trying.

This SHOULD BE DONE PRONTO. I can already see what’s going to happen to say, Military Chaplains ( effectively under Uncle Sam’s pay ) who refuse to solemnize gay weddings.

This will affect not only Christians, but Muslims and Jewish chaplains as well.

Just one of the many problems I foresaw when those 5 black robed judges decided to impose gay marraige on the country.

Here’s the rub — WHAT IF SUCH A LAW IS PASSED AND SAY, A PRESIDENT CRUZ SIGNS IT, AND THE ACLU CHALLENGES THIS LAW AND IT GOES TO THE SCOTUS?

This will then be Executive/Legislature vs Supreme Court.

What happens then?

And where in the constitution does it say that the SCOTUS decision overrides the will of the legislature who are accountable to the people?
