There is no doubt that Kennedy in the majority opinion referred to foreign legal precedents in the Lawrence decision (i.e. Kennedy noted that the European Court of Human Rights and other foreign courts have affirmed the ''rights of homosexual adults to engage in intimate, consensual conduct.'') Tell me, now does that have any relevance at all to SCOTUS and the Constitution? Whether you like it or not, this is a precedent and a red flag to anyone concerned about the sovereignty of America and the Constitution. I think you should stop making excuses for these people. Are you their advocate or something? It seems you are one of those who will stand up for liberal judges no matter how bad their rulings are. There is no way you can spin this in order to justify this horrible reference to extra-national laws in the context of the Lawrence ruling.

And free exercise also requires the right to engage in political advocacy without being subject to the restrictions of other groups that engage in political advocacy.

Are you referring to the 501(c)(3)? Are you going to sit there and tell me that this is not a restriction on free speech? I think you need to read a history of the revolutionary war as it related to preachers and the use of the pulpit for political causes, and I think you need to read teh free exercise clause again - it makes no exceptions for political candidates! In fact, it MAKES NO EXCEPTIONS AT ALL. That's the problem with you and all other constitutional darwinists - you think you can just mold the law of the land into anything you want it to be. I am here to tell you that I won't let you if I can stop it.
