Atheists sue to stop Christian mentoring

Marbury v. Madison was a tool used by the SCOTUS to escape irrelevance. The way I read the Constitution, the executive branch upholds laws that Congress enacts. Nowhere do I see the mandate for the Supreme Court to determine what is and isn't Constitutional, logic would dictate this is an executive task.

[Mr. Silverback]

Funny how the atheists always forget stuff like Jefferson funding missionaries out of the U.S. Treasury...

There is nothing in the site you liked to that supports [the] contention [that "I smell a rat" was anything but anti-federalist].

I think you're right. Thanks for pointing that out.

Section 1 of the fourteenth amendment is the "incorporation clause."

Not to my knowledge. Section 1 is the Due Process Clause and is the mechanism that courts have used to "incorporate" certain of the Bill of Rights, the second amendment notably not one that has benefitted from the Doctrine of Incorporation. Though by no means the only one that hasn't been incorporated.

[Mr. Silverback]

Where in the world would you go?

Success? Do I have a little neice or nephew on the way? Nosey- I mean concerned freeper wants to know ;-)

LOL!!! (philippines I think)

[Mr. Silverback]

Yes, it's much better to just let these "at-risk" youth committ felonies and go to prison. Better to have them rape, rob and kill then to believe in God and themselves.

Here's the fun part though: Johnny doesn't get mentored because the atheists win their suit, and he committs a crime and gets sent to prison. He turns 18 and has a chance to participate in a Prison Fellowship program, which the atheists can't screw with because the participants are willing adults exercising their freedom of religion. He gets the help he needs and becomes a solid citizen.

What atheists fail to understand is that God will not be mocked, and his Word will not be hindered. They might as well try to dam Niagara Falls with a business card.

[Mr. Silverback]

See post 78.

So what do you want me to tell you?

Thanks for the Constitutional Law lesson?

[wagglebee]

Article III, Section 2. The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;-between a State and Citizens of another State;—between Citizens of different States;—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.

Nowhere does this imply that the SCOTUS decides what is Constitutional, John Marshall claimed the right, nobody disagreed and the idea stuck.

And, it looks like we agree on the reason that the second amendment is never enforced.

What? It's not enforced because our government has been teetering on the verge of totalitarianism since the 1934 National Firearms act.

[Mr. Silverback]

Never mind, I found the answer further down in the thread.

Also, check out Washington's Thanksgiving Day proclamation sometime. It's God-a-rific.
