They have upheld things much more religious than posting the 10 Commandments also.

I wasn't asking you about the founders of this country. You stated that you always applaud upholding the rule of law. I was asking you, if you supported "ALL" laws, even if they were morally wrong.

Based on your posting, I must believe you would be pro slavery and pro abortion because it was or is the law of the land.

Just to let you in on a little secret, some laws should be oppossed.

[Selmo]

Hey Buddy, prior to 1861 in this country, it was legal for Southern states to own slaves. I guess you would applaud upholding that federal rule of law just like this one.

Just because it's a law doesn't make it morally correct.

On what basis do you find slave ownership morally wrong?

Can't be based on Christian doctrine, since the New Testament instructs slaves to submit to their masters (1 Peter 2:18, Ephesians 6:5-8).

[concerned about politics]

How a federal judge, how any judge may conclude that it has the power to restrict a citizen's free exercise of religion based on but half of the equation is tyranny alive.

Chaw! We're talking liberal activists on the court here. Tyranny is their middle name. It's their opiate!
That's why it's so important to get conservatives on the benches. It's the only way the Constitution will survive. That's why the Lucifer left is fighting so hard to stop Constitutionalists from getting any where near the bench. It would destroy their Social revolution they've worked so hard to achieve.

Yes. And the way to oppose them is to CHANGE THEM, not defy a court order as Moore is doing.

I wonder how Moore would feel if someone in Alabama defied one of his decisions?

It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings and she hasn't been elected yet.

[SedVictaCatoni]

It can't be justice if it is in opposition to the Constitution, the Supreme Law of our Nation.

Oddly enough, that's what people said the last time there was a constitutional in Montgomery, Alabama.

Johnstone is a grandstanding Demorat who fooled the people once into thinking he was a conservative by running ads showing himself duck hunter (it was a borrowed shotgun and bird dog.) He's a liberal trial lawyer with a TERRIBLE record on crime. He has been nailed and recently announced that he's not runninf for re-election -- because he would get his arse kicked.

By the way, for those who think this is a liberal conspiracy, sorry to let the air out of that balloon, byt Roy Moore screwed up his own case by ignoring good legal advice of the AG Bill Pryor, by refusing to allow Jay Sekulow to take on the case FREE OF CHARGE! (one of the finest constituional attorneys on religious liberty cases), and by hiring incompetent counsel. Whatever your view may be on display of the 10 commandments, and I'm for it, Moore was his own worst enemy.

As I predicted here last week, the 7 other REPUBLICAN Supreme Court Judges will overrule him and order the removal of the monument tomorrow, which they are entitled to do under the Court's administrative rules. Moore will be suspended when the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission finds that there is reasonable cause for the charges filed against him last week. And, finally, he will be tried by the Court of the Judiciary, which will vote to remove him from the bench. All of this could have been avoided if he had not insisted on screwing the case up and if he had just followed the excellent legal advise of good conservative lawyers. 10 Commandment cases can be one, but you have to thread the needle. Moore opted for the bull in the China Shop approach, and all he has not is broken dishes!

How much longer do you think we'll be able to sing "God Bless America" at state functions?

[SedVictaCatoni]

>>It can't be justice if it is in opposition to the Constitution, the Supreme Law of our Nation.

Oddly enough, that's what people said the last time there was a constitutional crisis in Montgomery, Alabama.

And, incidentally, I'd be interested to know why it is that you think that it is improper for the federal judiciary to determine constitutionality. Do you object to Marbury v. Madison?

[cornelis]

That's why it's so important to get conservatives on the benches.

They can be just as tyrranous. The solution is to respect a transcendent basis of law. And if you can't pray to it, I doubt it transcends.

[petitfour]

They voted tonight on whether to remove the monument to an office within the building. They did not vote to overrule Judge Moore. Yet.

[Tempest]

God Bless those supporters. It a sad thing to see how certain elements in society that have a despise for religon would look to use the laws of land in order to subvert the words of God.

[rwfromkansas]

Thomas Jefferson himself objected to Marbury v. Madison!

"The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not [Marbury v. Madison], not only for themselves in their own sphere of action, but for the legislative and executive also in their spheres, would make the judiciary a despotic branch." Thomas Jefferson

God bless the individuals who stand strong! The Ten Commandments are the very basis of our law and morality. Refusal of the Supreme Court of the United States to acknowledge this is an egregious error in judgment period. Good Lord what’s next?

CHANGE THEM

They don't need changing. The higher law must be upheld.

[Licensed-To-Carry]

The Bible doesn't suggest that slavery is OK. In this context, it really means indentured servant. One who has sold himself for a certain length of time to repay a debt. Not someone held against his will from birth until death.

Jeremiah 34:10 Now when all the princes and all the people, who had entered into the covenant, heard that everyone should set free his male and female slaves, that no one should keep them in bondage anymore, they obeyed and let them go.
