After all, his blog belongs to Alvin, not Bobby. There are times, however, when the obvious needs stated. Restated?<br /><br />We don't have a nation of law? Correct me if I am wrong, but, every bill that is passed by Congress and signed by the sitting President becomes a law. States follow a similar process, such bills becoming a law of that state when signed by the Governor. The one overall mandate is that all laws must conform to The Constitution of the United States. Enter SCOTUS. <br /><br />As evidenced by the existence of huge libraries of law, we have a lot already. This, then, implies that Huckabee is bemoaning the fact that we don't have a nation of God's law. A different matter entirely. <br /><br />The first ten words of Amendment One of The Constitution is the Fly-in-the-Ointment for Huckabee's want. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,..." (Adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights.)<br /><br />Our Government, then, by Constitutional Law, can not recognize one religion over another. Can not declare a new, single religion to enact such laws. No amount of legislative cherry picking will change that. Besides, can you imagine the linguistic gymnastics required just to attempt to combine the tenets of all religion?<br /><br />Oh, and on that final note: I can envision Franklin Graham denouncing Governments that embrace systems of Sharia style law, all the while decrying the lack of such, however modified, here. <br /><br />Okay. I'm off of my soapbox.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530929336438334523noreply@blogger.com
