America has problems, but America is NOT THE PROBLEM!~
The Bane of our existences
Published on December 11, 2008 By Moderateman In Politics

We have a new President-Elect in Barak Hussein Obama. He will make hundreds of federal court appointments, and we will pray for him that he will take this responsibility very seriously. The audacity of the U.S. Supreme Court, and the State Courts, in many of their decisions, has shocked most of us. For Instance.

In 1962, Prayer was restricted in the public schools.

In 1973, the Court found that the "right to personal privacy" which erroneously included to unrestricted abortion {the case was called Roe V Wade and now 45 Million babies have been sacrificed on the "alter of choice"}

In 1985, the court overturned a state law setting aside a moment of " silence for voluntary prayer in public schools." {the favorite weapon of these Judges, and those that support them, is the well known "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". The courts have so twisted these words that those that call themselves "liberals" and so-called "moderates" are convinced that the Establishment Clause means that there should be a "separation of church and state" of course the term itself CANNOT BE FOUND ANYWHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION. But today it is quoted as IF it is part of the Constitution!

In 2002, the court overruled a Texas law allowing high school students to pray at athletic events.

In 2000, The SCOTUS struck down Nebraska's law banning Partial-birth Abortion{ it was not until 2007 after a long protracted court battle, that the court finally upheld the federal ban on this ruling}

In 2003, SCOTUS ruled that Homosexuals have a CONSTITUTIONAL right to commit SODOMY, writing for the Majority Justice Anthony Kennedy said "we have to look at Foreign law" {so now our rights are no longer dependent on a long revered moral tradition, but on legal trends in other nations!

The list of Judges running amok and legislating from the bench is just to long to list, when will Americans stand up and say ENOUGH!!!!

That's conspiracy. It's already covered without hate crime laws.[/quote]

I'm no lawyer but I don't think this is covered under conspiracy.  For a conspiracy you need to have two or more people involved in the planning of an action.  If a person is acting along out of hate for a group that isn't conspiracy.

[quote who="taltamir" reply="5" id="1981413"]PPS... practical example:

1. Joe rapes judie because he is a sadist, he planned it, ambushed her, beats her, rapes her, and laughes at her before leaving her broken and crying.

2. Jeff got fired, he angerly follows his boss, salie home. He has no plan, just rage, at the spur of the moment he assults and rapes her.

3. Sam rapes shaniqua because she is black and he is a bigot.

 

If you take the hate crime approach, Joe and Jeff will get 5 years in prison each while sam gets 10 because his was a "hate-crime". Why do you think such a thing is justified? (personally I would say all three should be put to death, but if not, then at least give them the same punishment)

Based on your example here I would say 1 and 3 deserve longer sentences because they are likely repeat offenders, 2 is less likely to repeat.  Now I agree I think rape should have the death sentence attached to it but that is a topic for discussion elsewhere.

 

Look like I have said I agree that hate-crime is probably tossed around too much and I can certainly see where you are all coming from in arguing against them.  I just happen to disagree and I doubt I will be change your minds and you probably aren't going to be able to change mine.  So why don't we just agree to disagree at this point?

I'll still say Toe-MAA-Toe.

basically abortion, homosexuality, and school prayer... homosexuality and school are indeed unconstitutional because of seperation of church and state. Abortion is indeed legislating from the bench. (has nothing to do with privacy), but it was overall beneficial to make such legislation.Besides, the judicial branch is an equal member of the checks and balances system. You can't just expect it to have no powers whatsoever.

There IS NOTHING in the Constitution that says anything about "separation of Church and State" not a single word or inference.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_church_and_state_in_the_United_States

The separation of church and state is a legal and political principle derived from the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ." The phrase "separation of church and state" is generally traced to an 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists, where Jefferson spoke of the combined effect of the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. It has since been quoted in several opinions handed down by the United States Supreme Court.

Right there in the first amendment: Congress is not allowed to make any laws respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free excercise thereof.

Allowing school prayer or banning homosexuality is "respecting an establishment of religion".

Plus god has better things to do then make you win your football match (ugh, i hated the football team "moment of silence"... praying for victory in a GAME? if I was religion i'd be apalled at the blasphemy)

How do you know they are praying that no one gets injured on either side of the ball?

because some of them prayed aloud during the moment of silence. and they only mentioned victory (and sometimes doing violence unto the other team)

well then that is just plain disgusting, to ask G-Ds help to do violence to another human being is the same exact thing the terrorist do, not on the same scale of course but the train of thought is the same.
