No 'Separation' Is Mandated
For those who have been misled by the media, incompetent federal judges, demented schoolmasters (professors) or some trashback Marxist diatribe on the FIRST Amendment, see AMENDMENT ONE - FREEPER rwfromkansas to correct your gross conceptual errors.
Others who already understand their Constitution can proceed with:
The Congressional testimony presented in Congress, the Court, and the Constitution, explains how your representatives can ensure the federal courts comply with the Constitution.
Those who support Federalism contact your representatives about voting for Ten Commandments Defense Act of 2003 & Religious Freedom Restoration Act
Those who want incompetent federal judges removed, contact your representatives:

- It's Time to Hold Federal Judges Accountable
- Congress Must Curb the Imperial Judiciary

The following will educate all but the most implacable anti-Christians on the Church/State issue:
Solzhenitsyn's consistent resort to the context of religion for his social and political pronouncements is apparent in his Templeton Address of 1983, in which he speaks about his own country. He rehearses how he heard his elders explain all the horrors that that the Bolshevik Revolution had inflicted upon the citizenry by saying, simply, "Men have forgotten God. That is why all this has happened." And he goes on to say that if he were to give an account for all the horrors of our terrible twentieth century, he could do no better to provide a pithy explanation than to repeat what he had heard from his elders: Men have forgotten God" Solzhenitsyn On America

God bless Roy Moore. May Roy's conviction to his beliefs be a beacon to all free men to stand up to our Godless Federal courts. Roy make me proud to be from Alabama. Too bad Bob Rino Riley makes me ashamed to be from Alabama. Hopefully Roy will win and Riley will lose.

Reports are claiming that "Moore has been suspended as Chief Justice."
To: Vindiciae Contra TyrannoSCOTUS
I've been trying to find out who can do that. It is an elected position. Do you have any details?

Note that the phrase "separation of church and state" parroted by anti-religious extremists appears nowhere in the U.S. Constitution, a fact that many Americans miseducated by government schools do not know.Why do we allow our taxes to be spent perpetuating brainwashing in our own schools?
A pox on all anti-religious extremists and the judges who aid them in their agenda to destroy this nation under God.
They do not serve this country nor its constitution , rather they serve their true masters.. Marx, Lenin and Mao, imo

It will be interesting how this plays out. Roy could run for governor tomorrow and be elected. He will fight this and win. He has proven himself to be a real threat to the federal lib Godless hordes. Now some state ninnys want to suspend him.

Isn't the myth of 'separation of church and state' found within an opinion written by a supreme court justice? Does anyone know where to find this?

To: Windcatcher; DoughtyOne
I think you sense correctly here, Windcatcher. There is every reason to not let the secular humanists win this one.
Where will we get another politician to lead us if we do not answer the call many of us are hearing?
If we don't take this opportunity offered us by Chief Justice Moore, a single man who has had the courage to risk his stature for the benefit of our dear culture, who would so dare next?
"Who died and made you God" or somesuch should be chanted by crowds at the appearance of politicians of every stripe. Keep promoting the movement until a significant number get the message that such rulings need to be stopped, even reversed.
Would not this be a good thing to try out at some FReep venue?

I believe we are focused on the wrong issue.
The First Amendment says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercies thereof..."
When was the definition of "Congress" expanded to include an Alabama Supreme Court Justice? Or the legislature of any state for that matter?
The Federal Judge in this case is grossly overstepping his authority.
I attended a Republican Women's Club meeting on 08/20/03 where my Congressman Tom DeLay was the speaker. He said the Republicans in Congress are working on legislation stripping some Federal Judges of jurisdiction over certain areas of law.
Article III Section I of the US Constitution states: "The Judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish..."
Apparently the Republicans in Congress believe that if Congress creates "inferior federal courts" then it can restrict their jurisdiction.
This will be worth watching
To: Flurry
Roy Moore is a national treasure. You have to follow through on your convictions. He's a far different guy than most of the politicians called judges.

Then, beginning in 1947, and accelerating through the 60's, the Court abruptly reversed its position. This was done with no change in the law, either by statute or by amendment to the Constitution. The Court invented the distorted meaning of the first amendment utilizing the separation of `church and state' in 1947 in Everson v. Board of Education when it announced: The First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state. That wall must be kept high and impregnable. We could not approve the slightest breach. (Everson v. Board of Education; 330 U.S. 1, 18 [1947]). Over the past five decades, rulings of the United States Supreme Court have served to infringe upon the rights of Americans to enjoy freedom of speech relating to religious matters. Such infringements include the outlawing of prayer in schools and of the display of the Ten Commandments in public places. These rulings have not reflected a neutrality toward religious denominations but a hostility toward religious thought. They have served to undermine the foundation of not only our moral code but our system of law and justice.
The metaphor, `Separation of Church and State', was extracted, out of context, from a letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists in reply to a letter from them expressing concern that the Federal Government might intrude in religious matters by favoring one denomination over another. Jefferson's reply was that the First Amendment would preclude such intrusion. Religious Freedom Restoration

I sense a backlash in the works. The Atheists might win the battle but they might lose the war...When all is said and done I'm glad the culture war has been ignited in Alabama by the feds. They elect their Supreme Court and 75% of Alabaman's are backing the Ten Commandments.
If it happened in my state of Ct there would be no backlash, believe me, but fortuantely the south is a whole other ball of wax.
And thank goodness for that!
