What then, huh?

"What then, huh?" You must be running out of arguments when you start resorting to ridiculous strawmen. You know the influence of Judeo-Christian principles in our founding and our law. For you to claim otherwise or to claim that some other principles, if contrary to our own system, should have equal standing is ludicrous.

If California passed a law prohibiting Christians from speaking on city sidewalks, you'd be hearing a different story. Just a guess.

He put the Moore issue in its perspective.
Much of the uproar is about who's ox is being gored.

Whatever. If the people of Alabama want to elect and re-elect an Islamic judge, well, that's up to them.
