    This is amazing. I'm glad you survived.
    Me too. Thank god for grandma and her blazing spatula of justice.

    This is why I don't go to family Thanksgiving anymore.

To correct it, you'd have to go back in time and prevent activist judges from being appointed. Unrealistic. The public (and Gore) moved on.

    There was quite a scene at Bush's inauguration, I'm told. I wasn't interested enough at the time to pay any attention though.

    ust as in the O.J. Simpson case, our legal system has been used to avoid a 'perceived' violent and damaging reaction by the general population to justice being served - and so, one more cowardly judge resorts to tortured logic and avoids doing the right thing.

    This lawsuit was never about military personnel avoiding deployment to a war zone! It has always been about Obama's ineligibility to serve as President of the United States and to issue orders as Commander-in-Chief, potentially placing hundreds and thousands of lives in harms way.

    In dragging his feet about additional troops to Afghanistan, as requested by the very same General he put in charge, Obama has proven that he is more interested in giving the Muslim world a hand than winning a war for the very American citizens that elected him.

    Judge David O. Carter has just missed his place in history as a patriot, and instead joined the ranks of cowardly and immoral traitors to the United States Constitution.

    Judge Carter's lack of knowledge beyond his military and legal experience has proven to be his Achilles’ heel. He most obviously does not understand what the real dangers to our nation are. Namely, that Obama and his handlers are only interested in dismantling the Constitution and destroying the Dollar, in order to surrender American sovereignty and make way for the North American Union and a New World Order.

    Obama and his ilk probably believe that in this New World Order, with the backing of International Law and hate crime legislation, supported by multiple nuclear-armed Islamic groups and countries; that somehow, we are all going to reach 'détente' and live happily ever after.

    Maybe Judge Carter does not understand that Islam will not stop until it conquers the entire world and converts it to follow its ways, or die trying.

    Judge Carter definitely does not understand that there is enough evidence this very day that Obama is not only a fraud, but that all of his actions thus far betray a childish ideology and a most distinct loyalty to the Muslim world. To say that this is evidence of a 'divided loyalty' would be to give him too much credit for attempting to achieve a balance. This just simply is not the case.

    The truth will eventually come out. However, it may be too late to save our Republic.

    God help the next Judge Carter that is tested during this critical time in American history. All we need is one righteous man to stand up for the truth. God save America.

    I don't think these people know how the courts work.
    Didn't OJ go free because the Prosecuting lawyer was completely incompetent while the Defense lawyer was a fast-talking bullshitter of the highest caliber?

    Well, that, a glove and Chewbacca.

    Eh, his motorcade got egged during the inauguration if I remember correctly. Which is not the most mature response. Of course, filing frivolous lawsuits and actively pursuing perjurous testimony is a different level of fucked up.

    There's also a bit in there where the Plaintiffs are trying to prove harm inflicted by Obama by pointing to the 3rd-party candidates that were robbed of votes by this false candidates. The order notes several times that these 3rd-party candidates had received "only four-hundredth one percent of the vote," and that "The Court may have already met this entire group of voters at the hearings on this matter."

    Was that an ice burn in a legal document?

    I think it was.

    Well frankly I wish there was more of a backlash; Bush v. Gore was one of the worst decisions of the court ever, and it paving the way for President Bush is way down there on the list of reasons.

    Alas, the only person who seemed to care about the damage the case did to the integrity of the court was Justice Souter.

    I thought the glove thing was because the Prosecutor didn't think that the glove was found in water and it was a leather glove meaning it was likely warped and telling him to put the glove on would just look retarded.

    There's a big difference between antipathy of Christians and Muslims. Those who dislike Christians generally see them as a diverse group, ranging all sorts of countries with various different sects, and such dislike is caused by intellectual dishonesty. Those who dislike Muslims generally use the word because it's more acceptable to say than "towelheads from sandville," and such dislike is based on "they're brown."

    On the surface it appears analogous, but it really isn't. There's considerable difference in the bigotry between bashing Muslims and Christians.

    Maybe. I guess I'm saying that there is a difference from that angle, but I wasn't taking that perspective in this. Islamic takeover, and the implications that has (such as Sharia law) aren't bigoted in my opinion. They represent the same threat to the Western Civ understanding of society that Communism would -- a radical upending of your life.

    That's why I wouldn't call it bigoted, in the same way someone who rails against book-burning, bible-thumping, proselytizing Christians who want to outlaw abortion and treat people for Homosexuality wouldn't so much be bigoted as protecting their preferred civilization.

    The bigotry is assuming there's a giant monolithic "Islam" out there waiting to do just this. Instead of recognizing that there's an enormous array of Islamic people from many different cultures.

    It's bigoted to treat anyone according to anything but their actions, basically. If you asked me if the Muslims or Christians in Europe represented a more serious threat to a decent society, I would have to give it a toss-up as of now (especially since most of the people spreading fear and suspicion towards Muslims are a bunch of hypocrites who would prefer society to look like a Tintin album). Personally, I think that if a person wants to call himself a Christian or a Muslim, s/he would only look brave in my eyes if s/he was willing to point to the gay-hating, progress-hating elements and explicitly state that they don't consider elements to be worthy of taking up the name of his/her faith.

    If someone sought to do away with democracy to help solve injustices and then called himself a "social democrat", I would at least declare myself apart from him (unable to force him to call himself something else). I expect the same from people who embrace a faith.

    The Bible is chock full of equally horrible laws, but they have been diluted by history.

    And more importantly no one is pushing to have those old laws in acted, where as Sharia law is.

    Have you seen the latest gay marriage thread?

    The anti gay marriage movement is fueled by the old testament.

    It may not be as extreme, but it still amounts to someone trying to push their religious beliefs on to others.

    I haven't ventured into it, but is someone pushing that homosexuality should be illegal due to Leviticus 18:22?

    Just deny them basic human rights is all.

    Although, I'd totally be down for removing Christian suffrage if "as long as you don't kill them everything's cool" became the new standard.

    But it is not the actual law being established, such as the case in Sharia.

    o_O

    I come from a background rich in information on these sorts of topics, so you're going to need to be more explicit in explaining what you need to fill in your knowledge gap, as I am having difficulty perceiving how that does not help.

    The success or failure of an act does not negate the attempt.
