How are the citizens of Alabama who are not Christians or Jews served by a large religious monument in the middle of the state Judical Building? For that matter, how are Christians and Jews served? Is it one of the duties of government to remind us of the commands of God, as written in the book of Exodus, translated by King James's men, and edited by Roy Moore?
I am keeping the focus on the real issue, which is by what law - not fabricated court doctrine - can the federal court order the removal of this monument?
Sec. 1983. - Civil action for deprivation of rights
Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress, except that in any action brought against a judicial officer for an act or omission taken in such officer's judicial capacity, injunctive relief shall not be granted unless a declaratory decree was violated or declaratory relief was unavailable. For the purposes of this section, any Act of Congress applicable exclusively to the District of Columbia shall be considered to be a statute of the District of Columbia
TITLE 42 , CHAPTER 21 , SUBCHAPTER I , Sec. 1983.
The federal judiciary is preventing the state government from serving its citizens.-NutCrackerBoy
How are the citizens of Alabama who are not Christians or Jews served ... ?-Looking for Diogenes
Wait. Let's agree to the principle.
Tyranny = oppressive power exerted by government.-Merriam-Webster
What would you call it if the federal judiciary ordered the police all over the country to stop arresting crooks? That would be tyranny, right? It would be necessary then to ask: By what law does the court do that?
If you agree with the principle, we can proceed to how this order hurts the citizens of Alabama and all such orders are hurting citizens all over the country.
Please don't reduce everything to an argument where any restriction on any level of government is always deemed good and it cannot possibly be hurting citizens. Don't force me to reduce every argument of citizens being hurt to their having certain rights taken away.
