My friends,
the case of Elane Photography v. Willock has been decided. As I tell you
regularly, you will be made to care.
The case
centered around Elaine Huguenin, a Christian in New Mexico who owned a
photography business. She was asked to provide services to a gay commitment
ceremony between two lesbians, Vanessa Willock and her partner. Ms. Huguenin
and her husband declined to provide their services because they are Christians
and the orthodox tenets of their faith tell them that marriage is between a man
and a woman. See e.g. Matthew 19.
Vanessa
Willock, in an act of spite and retribution, decided to file a discrimination
claim and punish Mrs. Huguenin for adhering to her religious beliefs. In a very
profound decision, the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled
that Christians, Muslims, Orthodox Jews, and others must surrender the faithful
practice of their religion in the name of citizenship....... Note
that the tolerance is one way. In the name of tolerance, Mrs. Huguenin can be
compelled by state power on pain of punishment to provide her services to Ms.
Willock against Mrs. Huguenin’s several thousand year old orthodox religious
beliefs, but Ms. Willock is under no obligation to simply tolerate those who
disagree with her and find someone who is happy to provide the service.....ToRead More...
My Take - The battle against
traditions, traditional values and traditional wisdom in favor of conventional
wisdom, i.e., - the philosophical flavor of the day - is reaching its apex.
This can't go on. As for judges such Justice Richard Bosson, and those at the
New Mexico Supreme Court; it’s high time these people were allowed to go home
and stop practicing public insanity. If there ever was an argument for the end
of life time appointments to courts ....this is it. I wonder where he studied
law and history. He didn’t get either right. How do idiots get these jobs? The
fact of the matter is that most judges in the federal judiciary are nothing
more than political hacks. I would have to believe this is true across the
board. The difference is in most state and local jurisdictions those judges can
be replaced. The founding fathers understood that the Congress had the responsibility
to set the jurisdiction of the federal courts, not the courts themselves. As a
result the courts have decided they.....the federal judiciary will decide where
they jurisdiction lies.....what the Constitution says.....and what they think
it should mean. Clearly it's time to end this insanity and eliminate life time
appointments by setting limits for their term of service and insist on an
Constitutional amendment giving Congress the right and responsibility to
overturn judgments that are nothing more than legislation from the bench.
Judicial activism is a deadly disease infecting the legal system
destroying the balance of power conceived of by the founding fathers.
