This is disgusting. These pansies don't deserve to be in robes, but instead in dresses.

I'll second that remark. I guess it's back to square one.

Any guesses on what the Chief Justice's next move will be? I am praying with him and for him!

It would be cool if the building manager refused to comply or publicly resigned.

"WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.
"WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. ..."

What if the construction workers refuse to tear it down? What if the crane operators refuse to use their cranes to take it down?
What if the wretched, old, robed dictators are forced to physically remove the plaque themselves, along with the silly "Rev" Barry Lynne? What if they had to actually provide the labor to carry out their imperial decree?
It would at least be a funny picture.

Probably part of the prearranged dance. They had been left "out of the loop" so as not to be complicit.
Then when it rans its course, they were able to provide a face-saving solution.
However, it doesn't obviate the alternative interpretation of the 1st Amendment that was advocated by Moore and Keyes. (Probably the real reason they went through this exercise in the first place.) That is definitely something to chew on.
Congress shall make NO law regarding AN 'establishment' of books. of liquor. of real estate. of law. of religion.
The definite article "an" clearly indicates it's to be followed by a NOUN.
It doesn't mean: Congress shall make no law respecting the "establishing of a religion."
It probably means: Congress shall make no law respecting AN "enterprise" of religion."
In other words, "don't deal with religion in any way, shape, or form."

Good for them. Considering the political situation in Alabama this probably took more sack than keeping it in place.
To: rwfromkansas
The CHIEF JUSTICE (Moore) is a republican, who WON the job in the last elections AFTER standing up to the ACLU. Most of the REST of the court is made up of DEMOCRATS...so WHAT do you expect...BESIDES, judges cannot disobey the law...they set themselves up for impeacment / removal...and the DEMOCRATS in Alabama WANT Moore removed, so with that in mind, the other justices have allowed Moore to stand his gound without caving.

An Old Cherokee describes an experience going on
inside himself....
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret,
greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,
inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy,
generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same
fight is going on inside you - and inside every
other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then
asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
Stay Safe !

Received this in email -
"Samuel Thompson wrote
I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue
somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December.
I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a
lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory of evolution. Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game.
So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.
"But it's a Christian prayer," some will argue. Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country founded on Christian principles. And we are in the Bible Belt. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect --somebody chanting Hare Krishna?
If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer. If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.
If I went to a ping pong match in China, I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha. And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit.
When in Rome...
"But what about the atheists?" is another argument. What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate.
Just ignore us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer. unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do.
I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.
Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights.
Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us just to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.
God, help us.
And if that last sentence offends you, well..........just sue me."
The silent majority has been silent too long.. it's time we let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard,
that the vast majority don't care what they want.. it is time the majority rules!
It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray.. you don't have to say the pledge of allegiance, you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right.. but by golly you are no longer going to take our rights away .. we are fighting back.. and we WILL WIN!
After all the God you have the right to denounce is on our side!
God bless us one and all, especially those who denounce Him...
God bless America, despite all her faults.. still the greatest nation of all.....
God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God...
May 2003 be the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions.
Keep looking up......
In God WE Trust"
I agree.
