And, I will add, rarely if ever has a trial been more biased.
Starting next Monday, federal judge Vaughn Walker will begin the trial on the federal lawsuit brought by reknowned attorneys Ted Olsen and David Boies on the claim that California's Prop 8 violates the 14th Amendment of the United States constitution by denying some their civil rights. Judge Walker begins a trial--on a lawsuit where typically written then oral arguments are submitted, then a decision is announced--that is seeking not to uncover truth but to destroy it. A trial that seeks not to merely redefine an institution but to destroy and obliterate the affirmation of Jesus Christ in the public square.
Think that's a little harsh and over the top? Consider the following unprecedented steps this judge has taken:
- Consenting to the plaintiffs' request for a full trial with witnesses, where precedent has only gone as far as written and oral arguments to be presented before a decision is announced;
- Ordering the private email correspondence of Prop 8 supporters in order to determine whether or not there was malicious intent on their part--a clear violation of the federal constitution, as the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed;
- Consenting to the live telecasting of the trial, without giving the defendants any opportunity to appeal, the intent of the telecast being clearly to intimidate the Prop 8 supporters and subjecting them to the same kind of violence and hatred in the aftermath of Prop 8's passage in 2008;
Don't let anyone fool you on the two-fold intent of this trial. It is not merely to redefine marriage--not just for California, but for the entire nation--it is to silence active Christians and criminalize any attempt to bring values based on biblical principles into the public square.
If you have never seen a Kangaroo Court in action, then tune in. It'll make the O.J. trial look normal.
Brit Hume has taken a lot of heat for his comments on the Tiger Woods saga. On a Fox News panel, he said that Christianity would offer Tiger forgiveness he would not find in Buddhism, which is said to be his religion of choice. As a result, Hume has been the target of a withering wave of criticism and attacks from his media colleagues.
Ann Coulter wrote a brilliant article in response. Check out the article.
Never thought you'd see the day where it would be criminal to follow Jesus in America? Me neither; but now I'm wondering...
