Amending Our Constitution Do we need a constitutional amendment on marriage, not only to protect marriage, but to demonstrate to the courts that they exceeded their power in constitutionalizing marriage in the first place? Federal judges are now so powerful that they feel free to invent the Constitution as they move along. (If the definition of marriage - an understanding as old as time - violates constitutional strictures, one wonders what centuries' old legal notions the "mysteries of the universe" will invalidate next.) In light of these astonishing developments, it is absolutely clear why so many people are putting the words "marriage" and "constitution" in the same sentence. Many feel an amendment is necessary to preserve not only the social viability of marriage, but the political integrity of the Constitution. Well, speaking of Constitutions, God, governments and judges, notice the difference between the preambles of these two documents. CONSTITUTION FOR THE UNITED STATES: We the people of the United States, in order to form a
more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure
the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and
establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
We, the people of the Confederate States, each
State acting in its sovereign and independent character, in order to
form a permanent federal government, establish justice, insure domestic
tranquillity, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity--invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God--do
ordain and establish this Constitution for the Confederate States of
America. The House of Representatives shall choose their
Speaker and other officers; and shall have the sole power of impeachment;
except that any judicial or other Federal officer, resident and acting
solely within the limits of any State, may be impeached by a vote of
two-thirds of both branches of the Legislature thereof. Publius

Did You Know
That:
As you walk up the
steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near
the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is
facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view -
it is Moses and he is holding the Ten
Commandments!
As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the
two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower
portion of each
door.
As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see
the wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the
Ten
Commandments!
There are Bible verses etched in stone all over
the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington,
D.C.
James Madison, the fourth president, known as
"The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement "We have
staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of
mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to
govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to
the Ten Commandments of
God."
Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father
of our country said, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often
that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians,
not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus
Christ".
Every session of Congress begins with a prayer
by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since
1777.
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the
Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the
colonies.
Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would
overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin
making law....an oligarchy....the rule of few over
many.
The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay,
said, "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their
rulers."
How, then, have we gotten to the point that
everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly
wrong and
unconstitutional?
You
be the judge!

It does not know its own face, but calls itself national; but it is not national, -- it is sectional. The Republican party is a party of the North pledged against the South."

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, and a descendent of that city's first mayor, Phillips left the legal profession in 1836 to dedicate his life to the anti-slavery cause and became a leader of the radical abolitionists.
