I did not see this posted yet, so here it is.
Judge gives Oklahoma a month to remove Ten Commandments from Capitol
Quote:The decision prompted Republican lawmakers to say they will look at impeachment for the justices who made the decision and legal briefs from the attorney general’s office to keep the monument in the shadow of the Statehouse.

They are not defending freedom of religion, the judge who rightfully ruled for the removal did. If the assholes who put it there in the first place want live in a theocracy, they can move to Saudi Arabia or Iran.

You don't. They're blowing smoke.

I hope these judges have a contagious virus.

Will there be any christians on here that we can respect, that will actually applaud this action?
If you're a christian, and you can't see that this is a good thing, and you think your religion deserves more respect than the others, then you are a shithead. Simple as that.

The problem is when judges interpret the constitution in ways contrary to its original intent. Then it is only right and proper to impeach.
The original intent is as follows;
Quote:... the Oklahoma Constitution bans the use of state property for the benefit of a religion.

This would be hilarious if it wasn't so long overdue.
