On
a 59 to 39 vote, the US Senate confirmed the nomination of US District
Court Judge David Hamilton of the US District Court of Southern
Indiana to the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday, Nov. 19,
2009. Earlier that week the far-left controlled US Senate Judiciary
Committee rejected a move by Sen. Jeff Sessions [R-AL] to block the
consideration of Hamilton for the appellate court seat. Hamilton is a
nephew of former Congressman Lee Hamilton [D-IN]. Lee Hamilton served
as vice-Chairman of the 9-11 Commission.
David Hamilton, who interned as a law clerk for Judge Richard Cuhahy
of the 7th Circuit in 1983-84 after graduating from Yale Law School in
1983, became an associate at the law firm of Barnes & Thornburg
until 1994. With absolutely no judicial experience, then President
Bill Clinton appointed Hamilton to the federal bench. Hamilton is now
known as the anti-Jesus judge. In 2005 Hamilton ruled that the Indiana
legislature could not begin its sessions with prayer in which
Christian invocations that used the name "Jesus Christ" or even
sectarian terms like "Savior" were used. However, prayers which use
the words "Allah," "Gott," "Theos" or "Elohim," were acceptable. In
other words, only the name "Jesus Christ" was banned. In his decision,
Hamilton wrote: "All are free to pray as they wish in their own
houses of worship or in other settings. Those who wish to participate
in the practice of official prayer must be willing to stay within
constitutional bounds."

Too
bad Judge Hamilton didn't. The Constitution of the United States is
written in simple, straight-forward words that anyone who can read a
third grade primer can legally understand. In words even a lawyer should
be able to understand, the 1st Amendment to the Constitution says:
"hands off!" The Founding Fathers carefully crafted into the
Constitution an amendment that specifically denies the States or the
federal government any power to reinterpret what it says, or to make any
laws or edicts that in any way interfere with the inherent rights of
people—particularly Christian people—to worship as they please, when
they please, and where they please without interference from those who
disagree with their religious beliefs, or from local, county, State or
federal governments or courts. The 1st Amendment is so sacrosanct that
it is the only amendment which states that no governing body may alter
it.
While the 1st Amendment specifies "Congress," law is also "written" by
the courts which spent 90% of their time changing the meaning and intent
of existing law. When the decisions of the federal court system are
rendered and upheld, new law is being written on the bench. The 1st
Amendment says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." Sixteen words
don't require a legal scholar to interpret them. The 1st Amendment
begins with a declaration meant for all time. Our right to practice our
religious faith is sacrosanct. So is our right of free speech. When
Hamilton rendered his decision in 2005, the Republican-controlled House
and Senate should have impeached him and removed him from the bench for
arrogantly violating the prohibition clause of the 1st Amendment.
Judge Hamilton's father, Richard Hamilton, was pastor of St. Luke's
United Methodist Church in Indianapolis for many years. Was he a
"Jesus-thumper" at home? Only David Hamilton can answer that question.
What is most strange about Hamilton's judicial philosophy is that some
of his other judicial decisions on the District Court were very moral
and ethical—not the type of judicial decision you would expect from a
judge who could so blatantly violate the Constitution's prohibition
against violating the religious rights of the citizens of the United
States. In American Amusement Association v Coffey, Hamilton
held that the 1st Amendment did not prevent the City of Indianapolis
from requiring parental consent for children to gain access to video
games containing explicit sexual content or extreme violence. (His
decision was overturned by the 7th Circuit Court.) In another case,
upheld by the 7th Circuit, Hamilton sentenced a child pornographer to
100 years in prison.
Aside from the Holy Bible, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights
are the most unique documents ever written. The Constitution and the
Bill of Rights provides the American people with rights possessed by no
other people in no other nation on Earth. As long as this document, and
the Bill of Rights, exists, tyrants are hard-pressed to steal our
liberty. If we continue to allow petty congressional tyrants to steal
liberty, one bite at a time, we will awaken one morning and find we are
serfs, chained to the whims of the Utopians who are very close to
achieving their one world order.
On
Oct. 12, 2004, then National Rifle Association Vice President
Wayne LaPierre debated the George Soros-funded International Action
Network of Small Arms CEO Rebecca Peters, England's leading
advocate of global disarmament. In his opening statement, LaPierre told
Peters, "If you can't bring yourself to respect the Bill of Rights,
at least keep your hands off it. The Bill of Rights is what makes
America the freest nation on Earth."
With
respect to the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, Peters replied
that she "...favors global standards." She quoted George
Orwell's "Animal Farm," citing a phrase in the book which says
"...all animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal
than others. Mr. LaPierre," she said, "would say that Americans
are created even more equal. No. Americans are people just like everyone
else on Earth. They should abide by the same rules as everyone
else...American citizens should not be exempt from the rules that apply
to the rest of the world." Peters concluded that the Bill of Rights
should be repealed because, she said, Americans should not have rights
not possessed by everyone else in the world.
I
mentioned Peters remark because it is part of a global strategy to
dilute the Constitution and, specifically, the Bill of Rights by getting
federal and State court judges to incorporate international court
decisions into their decisions, thereby codifying international law into
the US Code by merging the the 1st Amendment with Articles 13 and 14 of
the UN International Covenant on Human Rights. It is this
coupling with a UN decree that now makes judges think they now have the
authority to abrogate Christian rights if they offend non-Christians
because Article 13 of the Covenant on Human Rights decrees:
"Freedom to manifest one's religion or beliefs may be subject only to
such limitations that are prescribed by law." Since Muslims and
Jews object to references of Jesus Christ, the federal judiciary simply
erased the use of Jesus' name as a right protected by the 1st Amendment
even though the 1st Amendment says no one can infringe on that right.
By
the way, British citizen Rebecca Peters, who led the attacks in England
and Australia that resulted in the gun bans in those countries, is now
part of the Obama Administration. Peters and Gun Czar John Podesta head
Obama's efforts to repeal the 2nd Amendment—or sidestep it, or simply
ignore the 2nd Amendment and legislate guns out of existence by
attacking not the gun owner but the manufacturers and sellers of
firearms. Once the American people are disarmed, world government will
happen within 90 days.
Judicial appointments like 'anti-Jesus" jurists like David Hamilton to
an appellate level US federal court, or the hiring of a George Soros-funded
British citizen as a presidential advisor on outlawing guns in America
are warning flag that this nation is in serious danger. The people of
the United States need to get off their butts, stay off their butts, get
politically-involved and take their country back. Congress and the White
House are full of watermelons. We need to start clearing the watermelon
fields in order to plant the types of crops that grow America, not
empower the progressives who attempting to steal the nation and the
world.
