Where in the Constitution does it say we derive our rights from God? I thought that was the declaration of Independence.

God Bless Judge Roy Moore - Save the Ten Commandments

Are the Ten Commandments in danger of being destroyed?

[c-b 1]

These threads always deteriorate into personal attacks on Judge Moore, by a few. I don't understand why no one even exposes anything on Judge Myron Thompson, the ultra liberal Carter appointee, NAACP type who is legislating from the bench. He either doesn't know, or doesn't want to know where the Federal Government's authority ends.

Thanks for posting this. It makes so much sense! Too bad Tyrants don't like things that make sense.

I like Justice Moore. The man is a true hero. God bless him in his fight against the PC Marxists.

Judge Moore is grandstanding. However, don't the able people of the sovereign state of Alabama have the necessary wherewithall to decide for themselved what sort of ornaments they want to put in their state and municipal buildings? Do they really need federal advice on matters of decor?

I am pleased that this is the most pressing issue for at least one of our federal judges and he has nothing more important to worry about.

Nothing effective will be done to prevent the removal of the monument. However, realize that as the great historian said "..leadership in declining states intuitively choses the most harmful course of action." There are many meanings to this cryptic phrase. Store up what has happened. The various outcast groups will continue to bungle-in many areas- until the elastic limit is reached.

Well, if the Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court is a Black Muslim, are you comfortable seeking justice in a Courthouse with a 20 foot statue of Elijah Muhammad?

When I heard Chief Justice Moore on the radio today as he gave his address I felt tears almost squeeze from my eyes because his passion and his words were so strong and inspiring. He is truly a man. Man the way men are made to be by God. Truly the Light of God shines on Judge Moore and those who stand tall in the front of those who wish to deprive our souls, our destiny, our liberty, our very freedom given to us by God.

Men who convene to rip the very foundation of our rule of law, our Constitution are men who should be questioned, not Judge Moore.

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or to often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."

Our rights derive from God in the political thought of The Founders and also in the design of the Constitution. You know the real dust up over the just removed monument in Alabama is the Left is telling us the basic laws of right and wrong we live by our entire lives, not to murder, steal, sin, covet, etc. - are now too controversial to honor in the public square. Now that's stunning. I mean we can have liberal atheism, moral relativism, the idea the government can grant and take away our freedoms like they're some privilege but folks we can't ever have mention of God, an absolute notion of right and wrong and inalienable rights which God gave us for our our security and happiness since people might get the wrong ideas! Today in Alabama we lost more ground in the culture wars. But people are beginning to stand up for what we know to be true and eternal and fighting to take our country back no matter how long it takes for that to happen. Believe me conservatives are mad as hell and won't take it any more. The federal judicial tyrants lit something in the good people of Alabama and this country that's going to burn on for a long time to come.

Bill Federer’s American Minute:
August 21, 2003
Born in Scotland, he was one of only six founding fathers to sign both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. President George Washington appointed him a Justice on the Supreme Court. One of the most active members at the Constitutional Convention, he spoke 168 times. His name was James Wilson and he died this day, August 21, 1798. The first law professor of the University of Pennsylvania, James Wilson wrote: "It should always be remembered, that this law, natural or revealed, flows from the same divine source; it is the law of God.... Human law must rest its authority, ultimately, upon the authority of that law, which is divine."

Here's what I want to know - I just moved to Bama this summer, and have registered to vote. There's a big tax bill vote coming up in September, and being new here, I'm trying to research it and learn all I can before voting day. Now there's this situation, and I can't help but wonder - what is all this costing the taxpayers of Alabama? Can't Judge Moore just put it in his front yard and save us all a little money? My understanding is we're not doing so well financially. Why create this additional burden?

[agooga]

I've thought a lot about this issue and my opinion is going to come off as a bit odd to most people here. First off, I am a libertarian agnostic- so that should tip you off right away....

I support the concept of allowing religious imagery in public spaces, primarily because I can't find a prohibition for them in the Constitution.

However, I must then believe that it is proper to allow imagery from the various relioud faiths to be displayed wherever and whenever the people find it appropriate. A Buddha in front of a Little Tokyo civic building, a Quetzacoatle situated in a park in East L.A., A Torah in the Miracle Mile, A quote from Mohammed near a Muslim community.

My sense is that the First Amendment tells us that Congress shall make no law establishing one religion above all others- this idea must be the logical and least interpretive manifestation of that doctrine.

[yoe]

"Congress shall make no law . . ." "The right of the people . . . shall not be infringed." "The right of the people . . . shall not be violated." The Bill of Rights tells us what government cannot do.

There is something very, very wrong not only in Alabama, but also throughout the country - and it doesn't pass the smell test. We can start with the ALCU, NEA, NOW, and other such organizations that would see America just another Socialist/Communist nation.

Judge Roy Moore has it right! He swore to uphold the US Constitution and the Constitution of his state - few judges show his level of honesty and integrity - few elected politicians honor their sworn oaths; they lay them aside and lie for votes. Vote them out of office next time around. The voices you don't hear are the enablers.
