What do we do when a court district's population becomes majority Muslim, and they VOTE to outlaw public practice of Christianity and public display of any Christian symbols on private property...and so on, and so on?

The reason we do not have DEMOCRACY in this country, but rather a Constitutional Republic, is to protect the minority view from majority rule.

Lock and load since every state in the union has Constitutional restraints on establishing state religions.

You know your question was hyperbole right?

What citizen of Alabama was deprived of worshipping as they see fit?

What citizen of Alabama was coerced to worship the Ten Commandments?

In other words what individual had their rights abridged?

An osmotic collective being offended is not covered by the Constitution.

No argument there however the minority doesn't rule in any democratic form of government and since the USA is a pluralist and mobile nation, those who can not countenance the Ten Commandments in the court room can find their way to Masachusetts.

The right not to be offended is not an inalienable one. At least it didn't use to be.

Could it get much worse than this?

Jane Doe v. Santa Fe, a federal judge ruled that graduation prayers must not include any mention of “Jesus” or other “specific deities” and that any student offering such a prayer would face immediate arrest and up to six months in jail. The judge threatened “violators” by saying they would wish they “had died as a child” once his court finished with them.

Can't. Private property is "suppose" to be private, unless the politically correct facist litigate away the right to property (They're trying). Give the anti-Christ 666 supporters long enough, and they'll take care of that for the muslims.

Quite a bit of a strawman argument, as this has not happened at all. Let's talk about what *has* happened:

The ACLU has been the ones to outlaw shared and non-coercive public displays of religious sentiment. The ACLU has been the ones to prevent private organizations like the BSA from freely associating. The ACLU has interfered with the right of private citizens to be free from harrassment by panhandlers. The ACLU has interfered with the state's ability to defend the rights of the most innocent, the unborn.

In *all cases* the ACLU has turned to Judicial tyrants, not democratic demagogues, to enact their evil. They have done it by twisting constitutional interpretation into a pretzel, gutting the intentions of the founding lawmakers and replacing it with their own modernist agenda of cultural degradation. How can we stop this creeping tyranny, if NOT with a return to Democracy???



"The reason we do not have DEMOCRACY in this country, but rather a Constitutional Republic, is to protect the minority view from majority rule."

And who will protect Judge Moore from the tyranny of the ACLU and the tyranny of Judicial activism run amok?
