I've already answered that question repeatedly, while you continue to ignore the fact that these kinds of rulings are based on nothing but a reading of the First Amendment that sees it as being the exact opposite of its clear words. Again, you've allied yourself with the agenda of the Left to drive Christianity from the public arena.

You and your friends love to talk about precedent, while hypocritically and deceitfully ignoring a couple hundred years of American precedent and the obvious original intent of the Founders of this republic.

My apologies for claiming that you got your talking points from Dr. James Kennedy. I should have realized you got them from Keyes.

Now, there are a couple of disturbing things about the talking points that are troublesome, but the worst is the demonization of Myron Thompson. Moore does this also - to make it seem like there is some rogue Federal judge on the loose making crazy rulings. It is shameful for you to do this when you can't articulate a single legal criticism of Thompson's ruling, and when you know that the appeals court affirmed his ruling in the most emphatic manner possible - in an opinion written by Ed Carnes, one of the most conservative judges on the 11th Circuit.

Now, I'm not saying that Thompson is the best judge around. I am saying that his ruling was exactly in line with the ruling of some who are among the best judges around. LEGALLY, he had no other way to go. The only other option was to have a sitting judge adopt Moore's omnipotent view and decide that he can overrule SCOTUS.

BTW - At least when Dr. Keyes practiced civil disobedience he did his time in an Atlanta police cruiser.

There is a tasty bio piece on Moore somewhere here on FR. It tells the story of how his troops in 'Nam tried to frag him.
