Well, King Todd hasn't repealed the First Amendment yet. Nor has he yet impeached President Bush for saying that we are at war with Islamists, not with Islam.


You're going to open the floodgates with that statement.

Haven't you heard? "Islam isn't Peace its a bloody cult........"

"By whom? The Grand Dragon's Kangaroo Kourt?"

Quite possibly a good name for them.

No, it was the New York State Supreme Court in a ruling on an immigration case where some people had inported a moslem poo-bah as a teacher. The ruling has never been vacated or overturned, so it stands todaya as the law of the land.

U.S. Constitution: First Amendment


Subsequently, an act of a territorial legislature which required a prospective voter not only to swear that he was not a bigamist or polygamist but as well that ''I am not a member of any order, organization or association which teaches, advises, counsels or encourages its members, devotees or any other person to commit the crime of bigamy or polygamy . . . or which practices bigamy, polygamy or plural or celestial marriage as a doctrinal rite of such organization; that I do not and will not, publicly or privately, or in any manner whatever teach, advise, counsel or encourage any person to commit the crime of bigamy or polygamy . . . ,'' was upheld in an opinion that condemned plural marriage and its advocacy as equal evils.199 And, finally, the Court sustained the revocation of the charter of the Mormon Church and confiscation of all church property not actually used for religious worship or for burial.200

[Footnote 199] Davis v. Beason, 133 U.S. 333 (1890). ''Bigamy and polygamy are crimes by the laws of all civilized and Christian countries. . . . To call their advocacy a tenet of religion is to offend the common sense of mankind. If they are crimes, then to teach, advise and counsel their practice is to aid in their commission, and such teaching and counseling are themselves criminal and proper subjects of punishment, as aiding and abetting crime are in all other cases.'' Id. at 341-42.
