10 Commandments to go on State Capitol

[patric]

Hell, someone should go rogue and install it "voluntarily" on the capital grounds. No damage to anything else of course, doing so would offend His bending nature, just voluntarily place it somewhere tasteful over night.

Damn, and we cant even manage just one monument.

Oklahoma's 10 Commandments Must Come Down

http://publicradiotulsa.org/post/oklahomas-10-commandments-must-come-down

The Oklahoma Supreme Court has ruled the 10-Commandments monument must be taken down from the Oklahoma State Capitol grounds. 

The vote was 7-2.

The monument was paid for by Broken Arrow State Representative  Mike Ritze and his family. The five page ruling says monument is religious in nature and therefore violates the Oklahoma Constitution.

You think there will be calls by OK legislators to have the OK Supreme Court removed?

You never know.  I don't think we've heard from Sally Kern in a while.  Maybe she's due?

Reading the decision and the part of the Oklahoma Constitution they cited, I fail to see how this was "judicial activism".  Couching this as an "historic document" and ignoring it is the foundation of Judeo-Christian beliefs was more likely legislative activism.

The current state of the Oklahoma GOP trying to create a theocracy is just plain embarrassing.

The monument served an important purpose. It allowed our legislators to point out their Christian values (and raise campaign funds) while railing against secular humanists, atheists, Muslims, and what-have-you, even though they knew it would eventually have to be removed. Now they get to gnash their teeth and rail again about all of the above (and raise campaign funds from it) in an exercise that is as predictable as it is cynical.

OK Constitution: you can't use State property to directly or indirectly benefit or promote a religion.

Lawmakers: lets use State property to promote our religion. How about a 8' tall monument to our God's greatest commands to his chosen people! Then lets laugh at every other religion that wants a monument.

Court: The Constitution says that you can't do that.

Legislaturs, governor, and attorney general:
Warbiegarble! Dictator! Unlawful activist hacks! How DARE you donykur sworn duty and follow the Constitution.

Let's impeach the justices for refusing to play politics. Then lets unfund the courts, the bar, and anyone else who understands legal principles. Then lets take separation of church and state out of the Constitution and pretend Article 1 of the OK Const. doesn't bootstrap the US Constitution.

Only then can we show the Lord Jesus Christ how much we love him such that hebwont toss us into a first pitnof hell forever.

Amen.

I mean, totally secular historical reference.

Now state GOP lawmakers are threatening to retaliate by removing American Indian artwork in the Capitol and State Supreme Court buildings because they are "religious in nature".



Republican State Rep. John Paul Jordan also told Huffington Post the court decision might be applied to people who have purchased health insurance under "Obamacare" who receive health care at religious hospitals.

Is this the "offender?"

I refuse to believe our legislature is that stupid.

The alternative is that our legislature is the same as an obnoxious child throwing a fit in Walmart.

Not sure which is better.
