They didn't teach about Roe V Wade?
I was also taught that the 1st Amendment prohibited the federal govt cannot prohibit the free exercise of religion.
Well, maybe that was true in the old days but today the government says you can't pray in schools, can't own guns in many places, and you can't keep the money you earned...hell even political speech isn't permited for some if it's close to election day(CFR)
We live in 2 different worlds. You live in a world where you are the judge of what the Constitution means. I live in a world where the government and the people who elected the government say what the Constitution means. Your version of what the Constitution says might closer to what the Founding Fathers believed, but they're all dead and can't back you up.
Furthermore, I was taught that the 14th Amendment was about equal protection and no one even claimed that this was a violation of equal protection.
In fact you don't know what you're talking about. One of the main points of the court order was that people who were arrested but not followers of Moses, Jesus, or Mohamed would be intimidated by the monument. It was the main basis of the claim. I don't expect you to undestand that, but fortunately it doesn't matter.
But what do I know, I didn't attend the meeting for party tools and specialize in becoming someone else's parrot.
I don't know everything. I rely on the judgement of others I trust sometimes. Sometimes I look to the judgement of others who I don't trust to make my judgement. What ever they say, I disagree.
You sound a lot like a rat. The rats are my enemy. I disagree with them. I disagree with you.
If I am a Democrat, you are a communist.
BTW, Roe v Wade is not a law.
The Constitution is the Constitution. Over the years both Republicans and Democrats have violated the Constitution knowing full well that there will be no repurcussion from the people. The so-called greatest generation already have been well-trained to tow the government line and they have taught their children to do the same. Since Bush won there was a lot of hope among conservatives that he will stop the erosion of the Constitution. There is no sign of that at all. In fact, he made Bill Clinton look like a fiscal conservative. My beef with Republicans is that they put up liberals in conservative's clothing. Bush is no different from an old school big govt Democrat. His words are sufficient when he said that FDR is the greatest president of the 20th century.
