Obama Judicial Nominee: Jesus, No, But Yes to Allah
Senate Democrats are proving once again that no judicial nominee is too extreme for them to stomach. A move seems to be afoot to open debate on the Senate floor this week on the nomination of David Hamilton of Indiana to the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. This judge is a radical's radical.
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, sent a letter on Friday to his fellow senators outlining his objections to Mr. Hamilton, who is a federal district judge. The senator first objected to Judge Hamilton's stated belief that judges should effectively amend the Constitution - "writing footnotes to the Constitution," the judge called it - through evolving case law. Second, Judge Hamilton has publicly and specifically embraced the president's "empathy standard," which even Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has now openly rejected.

I have a hard time believing anything printed in a newspaper founded by a man who thinks he is the second coming of Jesus Christ.

@ Woody Additionally he concludes that there is no endorsement of a specific religion when referencing the name of Allah; furthermore the Judge decides that all of the linguistic and cultural terms of deity are aliases for Allah. My reasonable conclusion is that the courts have ruled that Jesus is not God; and the Court ruled that my God is the same God that is worshipped by the beheading of innocents and the torture of women and children and the celebration of enslavement. How is it any human Court’s responsibility to dictate the terms of my religion and my thought and perception there of? This is tyranny and every ruling whether pro or con a bastardized debasement of the protections I have preserved for myself in the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution is and has been under attack and cunningly has been amended by Law to promote the scurrilous worship of Human Secularism. This must be addressed by Law and Judicial proceedings.

Secular Humanism. I am not well versed in the craftworks of satan.
liberal viewpoint
David Hamilton represents a generation of academic Marxists indoctrinated by the teachings of Alinsky, Chomsky and have produced a new Democratic party. In fairness it should be re-named the Marxists Democratic Party. Obama is the figurehead of this movement.

Another liberal lunatic for Obama. These guys are out of control and need to be kicked out of DC. GOD BLESS AMERICA and keep your hands off MY constitution. Please join and support www.thespiritofamerica.org

How‘s this for a foot note to the constitution *Note: The American People should hang all judges who attempt to put their own foot notes in The Constitution..
Woody Woodchuck
Of course, the editorial here and the conservative machine that is selling it is generating the reaction they want. But, as usual, the claim is false. Hamilton ruled that no sectarian prayers (one that appeals to any single religion exclusively) are allowed to open Indiana Legislature. While the ruling does say that prayers should not mention Christ, it says, in full: "If the Speaker chooses to continue any form of legislative prayer, he shall advise persons offering such a prayer (a) that it must be nonsectarian and must not be used to proselytize or advance any one faith or belief or to disparage any other faith or belief, and (b) that they should refrain from using Christ’s name or title or any other denominational appeal."

That includes all religions, not just Christianity. So, more accurately the headline should read, "Jesus, non, but also no to Allah." Maybe you all should look something up for once in your lives. Freakin' learn something and stop jumping at the fodder this web site feeds you.
snagletooth
While you're looking stuff up, do you mind putting a source to that ruling so we can all have a look and come to our own conclusions? Or did you not actually look it up, you're just quoting something else from someone who said they read it somewhere written by someone who supposedly looked it up so that it must be true like you're accusing the rest of us of doing? I mean, you do have a point, just because FOX (or CNN, or MSNBC, or BBC, ect...) says it so doesn't make it so, but just because you say it ain't so, just doesn't mean it ain't so, either.
Woody Woodchuck
My apologies, I should have posted the source. Here is the ruling: http://www.insd.uscourts.gov/News/1-05-cv-0813%20Opinion.pdf

Liberallover; your exegetical remarks about Gods' name is grossly ignorant of the Bible. Mohammed hated Jews and Christians as well as their God. Names matter just like calling you. "liberalandshouldhateit", would offend you, calling the God of the Hebrews , allah, is BLASPHEMOUS!

Isn't "amending the Constitution" what the pigs did in Orwell's Animal Farm? Pretty soon the judges will be walking on their hind legs chanting that "two legs are better than four." and that "some are more equal than others". It's amazing how leaders shift their meaning of equality and create their own power class once the threats to their power are dismantled and demonized.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: just when I think this administration can't be any more anti-American, they sink to a new low. And the trolls on this site defend the latest escaped mental patient vigorously. A question for the libs: Is there a bottom for you? Seriously, we threw Marc Sanford under the bus. Is there a point when you stand athwart history and yell stop?

How bout when ya'll turn the traitor Cheney over for prosecution for war crimes and outing a CIA agent while our country was at war. Don't think the Dems can go ANY lower than that.

Does anyone get that obama only signed onto Wright’s church to further his political ambitions in Chicago? He may have been pals with Wright outside of church but I do believe he only attended when it suited his needs. He did the same with Acorn, teaching them how to cheat and using them to gain support to be elected to the point where he pulled the dirty deal on his so called mentor who he shoved out of running. He uses people and organizations to suit him and to further himself. He has no allegiances especially to the U.S. He will drag all of his loonie pals into OUR HOUSE for as long as they serve his purpose. He has no church - his church is the golf course. The first secular first family.
mythoughts
He will appoint people like this as judges and they will destroy this country. Thankfully, they won’t be around in 3 years and 2 months - then we can begin the process of putting the country back together
Dugobi
The judicial decision being referenced is similar to the scores of reviews through out the country that have been secured by atheists, progressives and separatists. Rulings by activist (Liberal) Judicial servants have determined that “Jesus is not God.” We still have to constitutionally acknowledge ‘God’ until the satan spawn manage to debase Law to the point of invalidation of formative history. I am still disturbed by edicts proscribing the presence of ‘The Ten Commandments’ (which would imply Judaism) in my Statehouse. Hopefully the impeached ‘villain’ will be my Governor. I pray to God we will salvage our lives and liberty before belligerency ensues, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior, Amen.

@ liberal lie stopper (sorry reply not working) Our eyes (christians) are open to the Truth..sad to say their eyes are blinded. I pray they see the light before it's too late.

JUDGE NOT!!
Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more
than standing in your garage makes you a car.

"white female christian patriot"
Last time I checked praying for someone is not judging them. Quoting scripture with out knowledge makes you look petty and small.

It is amazing that at every move, OBAMA does just the opposite from what I would expect as normal. He is living in another dimension in which everything is turned upside down. I think that is at the heart of our issue. We no longer see things more or less the same.

Another Obama lie??

It's getting easier and easier to hate liberal Democrats. They have no values and no principles.
white female christian patriot
You lie and "Christians" don't hate people. I'm probably wrong in assuming you call yourself a Christian. Obviously you're not.
DixT
That's what I've been saying all along---Obama IS NOT a "born again Christian", as he stated during his campaign! NO TRUE CHRISTIAN would even consider ANYONE like this to be in their Cabinet! How stupid does he really think we Christian Americans are?
formally: WTF!!!
hahaha ... censorship ... that is low ... this is worse than i thought

Liberalandlovenit,
Ask him...he's the FEDERAL JUDGE. Allah is God in a different language. I personally like Yahweh. Okie dokie? ;)
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
According to the encarta dictionary, Allah is Gods name in Islam, just like Jehovah or YAHWEH is His name in Judaism and Jesus Christ is His name in Christianity. So you tell me. But like I say, Christianity is the only religion it's PC to hate and mock. Doesn't that make you wonder why?

Jesus Christ is the Son of God !!! And I don't think very many Liberals have ever picked up a *** BIBLE *** much less read one. Anything goes with them, just look at Odummy, he would not attend the National Prayer Service, but he could handout candy on Halloween. Dose this not tell us were our country is heading. Stright to HELL ..!!!!!!!!!!!!!! America get ready to fight for our freedoms.

Liberaland...Why are some afraid of the name of Jesus?
This nominee is also for abortion, Empathy, Govt. Land Grabbing, and Changing the Constitution, Why don't you have a problem with these?
He should Not be promoted. So There!

This issue is not the most important issue. The most important is their effort to collapse the current economic system and replace it with one that allows every to share equally, regardless of how much or how little work they do. Even if Obama were voted out he will not go. Watch the big picture.
Okie
Erosion of our freedoms is important. Our rights are being attacked on every front. Why would he allow the name of the islam god but not the name of the Christian God? When will the loss of our freedoms become important to you? Economy is important to me but my freedom of worship and "the free exspression there of" is more important and its being eroded almost daily.

Lets send him to middle east,then hi'll really love allah.

You're right I would not allow Allah, God, or Dios....any reference to god. But the judge's ruling, if you read the decision like I did, is that references to "Jesus" is sectarian while a reference to "God/Allah" is not. So there.

So why is it that only Muslims refers to God as Allah? If we called God Jehovah or YAHWEH would that be considered sectarian?

JUST STOP
I am not suprised, as I doubt any of you are. This administration, if not radical and against most Americans, is nothing at all. Since we all know it exists, then I guess we know what it is. I'm sure the rest of you are preparing for the fight of your lives just as I am. GOD be with you all.

I'm assuming the fight is organizing voters, Right? This DEMOCRATIC country doesn't tolerate any other option.
