Subject: The Rise of theTheocratic States of America
This article is the documented story of how a political religious
movement called Dominionism gained control of the Republican Party,
then took over Congress, then took over the White House, and now is
sealing the conversion of America to a theocracy by taking over the
American Judiciary. It’s the story of why and how “the
wrath of God Almighty” will be unleashed against the middle
class, against the poor, and against the elderly and sick of this
nation by George W. Bush and his army of Republican Dominionist
“rulers.”

On September 23, 2004 the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that
would prevent the Supreme Court from hearing cases involving the pledge and
its recitation and would prevent federal courts from striking the words
"under God" from the pledge.
The legislation (HR 2028) by Todd Akin, R-Mo., would strip the federal
district and appeals courts, and the Supreme Court, of jurisdiction over
constitutional challenges to the wording of the Pledge of Allegiance. The
House passed the bill, 247-173, Sept. 23, with 34 Democrats joining the
majority and six Republicans in the minority.
There is little chance, however, that the Pledge Protection Act will reach
the Senate floor this year.

Excerpt
America Stands on the Edge of A Grave Constitutional Crisis Linked to Pat
Robertson
How the GOP congressional faction is executing a plan to intimidate and
control the U.S. Federal Courts
January 6, 2004
By Katherine Yurica
In an extraordinary moment of history, Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist
pointedly criticized Congress for passing legislation that encroaches upon
the federal judges' sentencing prerogatives. The legislation, called the
PROTECT Act by Mr. Rehnquist, was passed in the spring of 2003, but
received little public notice since it was tacked onto the Amber Alert bill
as an amendment. But the legislation has serious implications for the
checks and balance system of the United States government.
*******************************************************
Everett co-sponsors bill to limit courts' power
03/17/04
MARY ORNDORFF
News Washington correspondent
WASHINGTON - The balance of power within the federal government would be
dramatically rearranged by a proposal to make Congress - not the Supreme
Court - the final arbiter on which laws are constitutional.
[snip]
Under the proposal, if the high court decided that a particular law passed
by Congress violated the U.S. Constitution, Congress would be able to
overturn the court's decision by a two-thirds vote.
[snip]
But legal scholars say it is an affront to the principle of judicial
review, established in the landmark 1803 decision in Marbury v. Madison.
"This is jaw-dropping," said Mary Cheh, a professor of constitutional law
at the George Washington University Law School. "It would overrule what our
constitutional scheme has been for over 200 years."

The Despoiling of America
In the wake of Friday's post about Steve Erickson's LA Weekly piece on the
conflict between Secular America and Theocratic America comes an article by
Katherine Yurica. She's a researcher who's studied Pat Robertson's
religious empire, and she's published a piece on her website titled "The
Despoiling of America." If Yurica read the Erickson piece, she might
substitute the word "dominionist" for "theocratic." She argues that the
Bush administration is driven by a religious philosophy that substitutes
Old Testament values for New--a philosophy that allows its adherents to do
anything, even performing acts that most religious people would consider
sins, in order to reach its goal of complete political domination of the
United States and the world. The ends--a world in which all people must
recognize "the crown rights of King Jesus"--justify the means, which is one
of the points Erickson made about Bush believers and their approach to
governance.
You may be tempted to believe, if you read the Yurica piece, that her
argument is overblown and nearly hysterical, because what she is describing
sounds almost loony, given our pluralistic traditions. But in the end, your
disbelief in the likelihood of her story comes from your idological
location, which is most likely in what Erickson called "the secular
center," which "won't accept that there's a culture war going on." While
people in the center envision a coming-together of religious folk from all
across the spectrum, overcoming their differences to pursue religiously
inspired goals for the improvement of humankind, the dominionists define
the "true" form of Christianity in a very specific, narrow way. It has
specific rules for taxation, jurisprudence, war--more like a legal code
than a philosophy, and its legalistic form brooks no variation. It would
look on the communitarian ideals espoused by the likes of a Jimmy Carter or
a Desmond Tutu to border on heretical. (Read Yurica's hair-raising sections
on why dominionists believe they have no duty to help the poor or care for
the sick.) Just as you don't win a shooting war by surrendering your troops
in a battle, you don't win a cultural or religious war by surrendering your
tenets to heretical variations.
I have been waiting for years for mainstream denominations to stand up
against the spread of theocracy. While there are stirrings now and then,
there's still no broad and widespread movement to say, "No, you're wrong
about this, and here's why." There's a tendency for mainstreamers to look
at the charismatics, pentecostals, and evangelicals who make up the bulk of
the theocrats and feel as though everyone has common ground to stand on
because they're all Christians, so their differences are bridgeable and
not, in the end, a very big deal, so why fight too hard over it? But keep
in mind that generous interfaith impulse is a feeling not necessarily
reciprocated by the theocrats, who, as Randall Terry famously put it,
"don't want pluralism." Fact is, the theocrats would lump followers of the
so-called "mainstream" churches into the secular horde--and headed for Hell
as surely as any other heathen.
In his annotation on the State of the Union for the Atlantic, James Fallows
noted the presence of coded religious language that would speak directly to
the theocrats in Bush's audience while zooming right over the heads of
secular listeners. Theocrats, dominionists, call 'em what you will, count
on the fact that the great secular unwashed (co-religionists of other
denominations included) doesn't understand their language. And if the great
secular unwashed doesn't understand the language, they can't know they're
in a fight--and may not know until it's mostly over. "The Despoiling of
America," even though it has some faults, helps with the translation.

Pin Heads
By Chris Floyd
One of the sticking points in crafting the just-signed "interim
constitution" of the Pentagon cash cow formerly known as Iraq was the
question of acknowledging Islam as the fundamental source of law. After
much wrangling, a fudge was worked out that cites the Koran as a
fundamental source of legal authority, with the proviso that no law can be
passed that conflicts with Islam.
We in the enlightened West smile at such theocratic quibbling, of course:
Imagine, national leaders insisting that a modern state be governed solely
by divine authority! Governments guaranteeing the right of religious
extremists to impose their views on society! What next -- debates about how
many angels can dance on the head of a pin? Oh, those poor, ignorant
barbarians in Babylon!
Well, wipe that smile off your face. For even now, the ignorant barbarians
in Washington are pushing a law through Congress that would "acknowledge
God as the sovereign source of law, liberty [and] government" in the United
States. What's more, it would forbid all legal challenges to government
officials who use the power of the state to enforce their own view of
"God's sovereign authority." Any judge who dared even hear such a challenge
could be removed from office.
The "Constitution Restoration Act of 2004" is no joke; it was introduced
last month by some of the Bush Regime's most powerful Congressional
sycophants. If enacted, it will effectively transform the American republic
into a theocracy, where the arbitrary dictates of a "higher power" -- as
interpreted by a judge, policeman, bureaucrat or president -- can override
the rule of law.

Judge Roy Moore Introduces Constitution Restoration Act 2004
http://www.waff.com/Global/story.asp?S=1644862
[EXCERPT]
Q. What is the purpose of this bill?
A. The purpose of the CRA is to restrict the appellate jurisdiction of the
United States Supreme Court and all lower federal courts to that
jurisdiction permitted them by the Constitution of the United States. The
acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, and
government is contained within the Declaration of Independence which is
cited as the "organic law" of our Country by United States Code Annotated.
The constitution of every state of the Union acknowledges God and His
sovereignty, as do three branches of the federal government. The
acknowledgment of God is not a legitimate subject of review by federal
courts. The CRA also protects and preserves the Constitution of the United
States by restricting federal courts from recognizing the laws of foreign
jurisdictions and international law as the supreme law of our land.
Q. Does this bill reverse Supreme Court precedent?
A. To the extent that any decision of the United States Supreme Court or
that of any federal district court made prior to or after the effective
date of the Act prohibits the acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source
of law, liberty, or government, such precedent would not be binding on
state courts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[This would be the first major official step in trying to cancel
application of the religious clauses of the BORs against the states.
A U S District Court judge was the firs to try and accomplish this in
recent times in Wallace v Jaffree
Back in the 50s and 60s during the bulk of the civil rights movement I am
sure there were southern state and resident southern judges who probably
said the same things, that is the BORs do not apply to the states.
However it was Judge Hand in the 80s that stated the Establishment Clause
did not apply to the states, to Alabama, etc. The USSC when it decided
Wallace v Jaffree didn't even bother to give that element of the lower
court light of day by even referring to it.
I recently ran across something which I posted at the time, that gives
strong indication that Justice Thomas would not have a problem in
supporting the idea that the BORs, i.e. in particular the religious clauses
do not apply to the states. It appears from some of the stuff I have rad
yesterday and today, Rehnquist while a conservative, is not to be counted
among the dominion leaning types but the same cannot be said for sure about
Scalia.
Rehnquist has already complained about Congress trying to limit the high
Court. One of the things I posted yesterday covers that as I recall. ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Does this bill intrude into the constitutional powers of the federal
judiciary?
A. No. Use by Congress of Article III regulation of the appellate
jurisdiction of the United States Supreme Court and other federal courts is
provided by the Constitution as a check on the Judicial Branch when it
exceeds its jurisdiction. When federal courts prohibit the acknowledgment
of God they deny the very source of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness
which our founding fathers specifically recognized in the Declaration of
Independence as unalienable rights given by God. To prohibit a state
official from recognizing God is a violation of the Tenth Amendment as well
as the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. If Congress
cannot make a law restricting states from the acknowledgment of God under
the First Amendment, how can the Supreme Court enforce a law which Congress
cannot make? The CRA would restore the balance of power among the various
branches of government and restore the fundamental precepts upon which our
Constitution and government is based.

Now one would think that this only being a law and not a constitutional
amendment that if ever passed it could be challenged and could be struck
down by the USSC.
However, to quote a famous ex coach on ESPN, not so fast my friend.
What if the dominions have enough voting jusitces on the USSC?
While overall, in the past the dominions have not been shy about stating
their plans, intents and purposes, and many haven't been shy about letting
it be known they are involvd with the movement, many of the new ones are
adopting the Christian Coalition, Ralph Reed stealth approach with regards
to being identified with that movement.
Just a few years ago these people, (Christian reconstructionists,
dominions, etc,) were viewed as crackpots, jokes, etc.
(But then so was the Moral Majority, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson,
Christian Coalition, etc in the beginning)
However, right now after after 20 or 30 or more years of quietly going
about their business they are in a position to get maybe the last laugh.
I am sure that they have planned for the fact of this law or sinilar ones
they will be propossing in the future can be checked by the USSC and I am
equally sure they have plans on how to counter that as well.
Will they take over the government, probably not, however, one should never
say never. This seems to be a tiem of the radicals worldwuide
accomplishign amazing things in many instances.
What they can do is alter this nation and its laws, sometimes in drastic
ways.
They can chage things and make a differecne and I don't think that
difference will be for the better.
In time things will swing back the other way, but between now and then it
could become messy.

If Christian people work together, they can succeed during this decade in
winning back control of the institutions that have been taken from them
over the past 70 years. Expect confrontations that will be not only
unpleasant but at times physically bloody.... This decade will not be for
the faint of heart, but the resolute. Institutions will be plunged into
wrenching change. We will be living through one of the most tumultuous
periods of human history. When it is over, I am convinced God's people
will emerge victorious.
- Pat Robertson
We at the Christian Coalition are raising an army who cares. We
are training people to be effective -- to be elected to school boards,
to city councils, to state legislatures, and to key positions in
political parties.... By the end of this decade, if we work and
give and organize and train, THE CHRISTIAN COALITION
WILL BE THE MOST POWERFUL POLITICAL
ORGANIZATION IN AMERICA.
- Pat Robertson
A Supreme Court ruling is not the Law of the United States. The law of the
United Sates is the Constitution, treaties made in accordance with the
Constitution, and laws duly enacted by the Congress and signed by the
president. And any of those things I would uphold totally with all of my
strength, whether I agreed with them or not.... I am bound by the laws of
the United States and all 50 states ... [but] I am not bound by any case or
any court to which I myself am not a party.... I don't think the Congress
of the United States is subservient to the courts.... They can ignore a
Supreme Court ruling if they so choose.
- Pat Robertson
TERM LIMITS FOR BROADCASTERS NEEDED
"The President whom we select should also publicly promise us that he will
name members of the Federal Communications Commission who will give us the
most important kind of term limits we could desire: term limits for
broadcast licenses, so that, at last, we can end the corrupt power of the
left-wing media, and turn the airwaves over to men and women like Paul
Weyrich, Reed Irvine, Don Wildmon, James Dobson, Brent Bozell, and Bev
LaHaye.
