"If we choose to be silent, silenced we shall be."

Stand up for your Christian beliefs and your Constitutional rights. Religious freedom is a cornerstone of our Republic and a core principle of our Constitution and an inalienable fundamental human right.

Why is the 9th Circus so evil oriented?

The Republicans claimed they would break up the 9th Circuit if they ever got a majority in the Senate.

They got a majority and lost their backbone.

The Republicans didn't even make much more of an effort other than blustering about the 9th Circuit.

And now the Republicans wonder why they no longer have a majority in the Senate.

We don't really have a unified nation any more. The first ammendment is gone.

You can be assured that these clowns were educated in American law schools dominated by secularists and who have no knowledge of history, of legal philosophy or the natural law.

They just don't know about the free speech element of the Constitution.

The family has been under attack from various quarters for a considerable amount of time in the US. Moments like this simply make that fact more obvious and demonstrate how far we've fallen.

Sadly, the acceptance of the homosexual definition of marriage and the weakening of the traditional family unit has been facilitated by the abortion/contraception mentality of heterosexuals and the ever increasing fornication-worship which has crept into the American psyche over decades. This has played a huge part in weakening the understanding of "family" and has fertilized the soil for the moral insanity which now threatens us. It has helped enormously in driving a wedge between the concepts of marriage and procreation. Once the primary purpose of marriage is no longer the free use of God's procreative gift, then....voila......you have a whole new definition of this sacrament which homosexuals can exploit.

This problem won't be resolved by revamping the Ninth Circuit. There's an issue here which runs much deeper than "free speech". It's ultimately a life issue. Mother Teresa once said that a country which kills its own children will ultimately lose its freedom and has no future. We're now watching this materialize.

Not good at all in my way of thinking.

Every (true) Christian church needs to put this front and center.

One way would be to have an 'overseer' in the pews, who would stand up and castigate the preacher whenever the phrase 'Natural Family', 'Marriage' or 'Family Values' is spoken during the (targeted) sermon, instructing that it's now hate speech per a U.S. District Court. And have handouts regarding the issue at the doors.

>> that the municipal employers can completely censor the terms "natural family," "marriage" and "family values" as hate speech.

Governance that strives towards absurdity cultivates the antithesis of civility.

Shockingly, the court concluded...

The only part I disagree with.

"Critical Legal Theory," a.k.a., Marxism.

A family of new legal theories, launched since 1970, share commitments to criticize not merely particular legal rules or outcomes, but larger structures of conventional legal thought and practice. According to critical legal scholars, dominant legal doctrines and conceptions perpetuate patterns of injustice and dominance by whites, men, the wealthy, employers, and heterosexuals. The "Crits" argue that prevailing modes of legal reasoning pretend to afford neutral and objective treatment of claims while shielding structures of power from fundamental reconsideration. Critical theorists also maintain that despite the law's claims to accord justified, determinate and controlled expressions of power, law fails on each of these dimensions and instead law mystifies outsiders in an effort to legitimate the results in courts and legislatures.
This is the prevailing ideology at Harvard Law.

The 1st amendment was informally but effectively Declared Unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court when it let CFR stand. State Supreme Courts have previously nullified portions of State Constitutions so it is not entirely unprecedented in the country. Kelo was decided with some influence from the CFR decision, I'm sure. With CFR going down with widespread support for the Court, Kelo was easy. Excising the 2nd will occur, perhaps sooner rather than later. The Court is gradually assuming its place as the Supreme Legislature composed of the Judicial Oligarchy. The process will be complete when the Court takes responsibility for appointing its own members.

You are so very,very right. And I remember Mother Theresa saying that. If we as Christians do not profess our faith and live it out then we get what we get.

"Another brilliant moment for the 9th Circuit:)" I'm assuming you are saying that with a great deal of sarcasm. The 9th circuit must be made up of the most idiotic "justices" on the face of the planet!

This is sick. I hope the Supreme Court smacks down the naughty Ninth...
