Supreme Court unanimously rejects Obama Justice Dept’s attempt to control churches
That’s uanimous, folks: The Supreme Court has rejected the Obama administration’s argument that it can dictate who churches hire as ministers or clergy in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The Obama administration unsuccessfully argued that the government can dictate who churches hire, as long as it also subjects secular [...]
Court rules that OK’s amendment constraining courts is unconstitutional (Updated)
In 2010 the voters of Oklahoma were presented with a proposed amendment to their state constitution that would ban all state courts from using international or cultural laws to arrive at rulings in cases before them. A US District court has now ruled that this amendment violated the US Constitution’s 1st Amendment protections: An amendment [...]
Col. Jack McDonnell, father of VA Gov. Bob McDonnell, dead at 94
Regardless of what events a day may bring, life does go on. On this election day, so full of the buzz of enthusiasm for our side of the aisle, the events of a life went on and, sadly, played out the final moments. From Gov. Bob McDonnell’s site, we learn that his father, Col. Jack [...]

Shocker: 18% of Americans not paying attention to Obama’s religious history
Apparently a survey was taken asking a sample of Americans what religion Obama belongs to and 18% said he was a Muslim. Apparently those people don’t recall Obama’s membership in Rev. Jerimiah Wright’s Trinity United Church up in Chicago, a church of a most certainly Christian bend. (Although given what I’ve seen of Rev. Wright’s [...]
On public displays, preferential treatment, and the public’s grounds.
After years of Christmas displays being set up with nary a complaint on the courthouse grounds in Leesburg, VA, last year’s display came under attack by people who apparently can’t abide the thought of someone believing something they don’t strongly enough to want to display something for a nationally-known holiday. In short, some person demanded [...]
Assessing where one stands and a long overdue statement whereof…
I have been blogging since the term started to become widely known. I recall the topic of my first blog post quite well – I wrote it the night President Bush addressed the nation to let us know he was sending troops into Taliban-ruled Afghanistan to go after the terrorist group responsible for the 9/11 [...]
You want taxes lowered? Smartass
Smartass. That’s what Vice President Biden thinks of a business manager who comments that he wants taxes lowered. Of course they’re spinning it, now, that the VP was “just kidding” but it looked and sounded to everyone present that he was dead serious about it. The only reason he’s saying he was kidding is that [...]
Remembering on this Memorial Day
Today as most of us enjoy the day off I urge you to take a moment to recall the meaning of this day. We have all enjoyed the benefit of the actions of those fallen soldiers we honor. It is in thanks for those actions that we should pause, remember, and offer up a prayer [...]
