Current Communist Goals (1958)
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

The jurors can talk about whatever they want... this is HORSE$H!T~!!
As long as government acknowledged God's laws were SUPERIOR to man's laws, it couldn't lie, murder, cheat, etc.
Now, it does whatever it wants because Americans believe the lie!
They should have just quoted the Clint Eastwood movie where Clint says "a head for an eye ..."
No one is knocking the Bible in this opinion, it's a book everyone should read and follow. But it has absolutely no role to play in a jury's consideration of fault in a civil case or guilt or sentence in a criminal case. If it were it were otherwise, a prosecutor or defense counsel in a criminal case or a plaintiff or defendant in a civil case could use the courtroom lecturn as a preaching pulpit to inspire jurors to do this or that because the Bible, or the Koran, or the Book of Mormon, or whatever may be the book of some other religion to based their decision on.
The court is not only correct, it was compelled to issue the opinion and rule the way it did----all of the FR howls of protest to the contrary notwithstanding. Juries just cannot be allowed to act on their own like this...
Juries used to be expected to judge the law as well as the evidence in the case. Not any more. Today, the judge orders the jury, and sometimes will even reverse a jury, if s/he disagrees with the jury decision.
Grand juries were originally intended to provide some protection against power-mad prosecution. Not any more. Today, whatever the DA says is what happens.
How I wish the Judge read the bible in Terri's case, so she could have a life sentence instead of death.
Who knows.
Maybe they were going to quote "Let he without sin throw the first stone." That could have led to a life sentence.
Better kill him to teach them a lesson. ;^)
More proof that judges have declared themselves GOD. And are responsible to NO ONE.
America is still going to hell bump.
-The court said Bible passages, including the verse that commands “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” could lead jurors to vote for death-
Any authority higher than a judge is strictly forbidden.
Just Incredible.. I can't believe how low our justice system has sunk.
Where the hell was this kind of mercy for Terri damnit ?
the Terri Schiavo case has everything to do with our out of control and arrogant judicial system, yet people still want to play by the "rules" and let it continue....
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawyers. Kill them all, and start over.

INTREP - see my tag line
You are very correct.
First Amendment:
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.
Can't for the life of me understand how even State Supreme Court Justices can't understand "make no law........//..........prohibiting the free exercise thereof". IMHO if Congress has made no law to that affect, then by what authority, other than self imposed, does ANY court have to impose prohibition of free exercise of religion?
