"Religious freedom and impartiality are guaranteed by the Constitution.

And here's the Chief Magistrate of Alabama openlty stating that he's NOT impartial.

That the only way one can expect Justice in his Alabama Court is to invoke the God of Judeo-Christian beliefs.

"To suffer the civil magistrate to intrude his powers into the field of opinion and to restrain the profession or propagation of principles on supposition of their ill tendency is a dangerous fallacy, which at once destroys all religious liberty, because he being of course judge of that tendency will make his opinions the rule of judgment, and approve or condemn the sentiments of others only as they shall square with or differ from his own." -- Thomas Jefferson

God has no place for cowards in his kingdom. It is now time to get off of your knees and act like a man. Muslims believe in prayer, but they are also willing to die for Allah.<> We have a satanic federal judge who has ordered the removal of the Ten Commandments from a public building -- an act of High Treason. Our rights come from God, not from the government.<> Also, nowhere in the Constitution has the power to determine what is constitutional been given to the federal government. This means that this power is reserved for the states, or to the people -- the Tenth Amendment.<> Now is the time to draw the line and confront satan. Allowing him to remove these commandments would be an admission of defeat. And like Judas, a betrayal of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We wage war not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers -- the Bible.<> Article III of the U.S. Constitution: No where does it indicate that the Supreme Court, much less the lesser courts have the authority to 'interpret' the constitution. The SC took this on its own in the late 1700's and the other branches (Legislative and Executive) abrogated their responsibilities by not calling the court to task.<> ARTICLE III<> Section 1.<> 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. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.<> 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 ambas- sadors, 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.] < In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be a party, the supreme court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before-mentioned, the supreme court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.<> The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be by jury and such trial shall be held in the state where the said crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any state, the trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.<> AMENDMENT XI<> Passed by Congress March 4, 1794. Ratified February 7, 1795.<> The judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by citizens of another State, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign state.<> You will notice that the 'inferior' courts exist at the sufferance of Congress. Many people assume (wrongly) that the District Courts are part of the three legs of the U.S. Government. Not true. The Supreme Court is that judicial leg. The Congress has control over the District Courts if they desired to exercise their constitutional authority.<>

What in the world are you talking about?

I am still dumbfounded. The impartiality of the judiciary along with the rule of law are the foundations of a free nation. Yet every judge on the face of the earth has some views on religion. To the extent that one succeeds in being impartial has nothing to do with whether he or she displays some sort of tribute to and reminder of the foundations of morality in our culture.
