Show me in the 14th amendment where the judiciary has the power to make any new laws (e.g. forced busing, taking plaques down from courthouses, enforcing politically correct cultural norms). Show me - I'm from Missouri. Again, read the Free Exercise Clause over and over until you get it into your head that judges HAVE NO POWER to take away my right to pray anywhere or anytime I want, with whomever I want, and put up Christian symbols in a Courthouse in my community. This is a power grab on the lines of a POLIBURO and these judges should be impeached immediately.
