Oh The Irony, This Blog as a Legal Source

I still can't stop laughing, as my humble little bit of ravings has found it's way to be cited by one of America's premiere Law Schools for an article I wrote a while back discussing the US 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that I thought was a conservative's court lack of understanding of the Constitution. When I say as I did above "premiere" I am obviously being fascias. The school in question is Liberty University, you know the school that graduated such legal scholars as Monica Goodling and many others that have made their way into George Bush's law firm called the Justice Department.

I traced back a reference to an article and found it cited on Regent University's web page for blogs about Regent Law School. Granted you have to scroll down a bit to find it but there it is with my blog campaign poster for Obama brightly plastered on their page. The article, which I confess I consider one of my better pieces can be read here, for those interested. As I sober up from my laughter, I now realize could I be on a Conservative Enemy's list? Or was this common man's legal argument so compelling that t even made sense to those evangelical lawyers who think they can appeal their sins away on the road to heaven? Needless to say, I am hopeful that my arguments might awaken some of those wanting in intellect legal scholars to understand that the Constitution not only protects those they disagree with, but it protects them as well.

Since Regent University, founded by Pat Robertson in Virginia Beach, exists to teach religious doctrine and misrepresents the basis for which both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were written on, let me refer you to a little none law that exists in Virginia, and is the basis for the First Amendment of that Constitution. It is a little known law, but historic in it's passage, and a law I am sure your law professors at Regent are either ignorant of, or prefer that you not know of since it shatters many of the tenants Regent University and it's Law School were founded on. Oh and did I mention it is on the books in Virginia, the state your university resides in?

It is called the Statute for Religious Freedom, passed in the Virginia General Assembly on January 16, 1786. Basically boys and girls it says you and I have the right to worship, or not to worship however we please. Hopefully your University will reference this post as well and hopefully you will respect the individual rights of every American or person in the world to choose their heaven or hell.
