Almighty God: 1, Adopted Babies: Zero
January 6th, 2008
Any fucktard can be a judge, but only believers can be adoptive parents.
In an extraordinary decision, Judge Camarata denied the Burkes’ right to the child because of their lack of belief in a Supreme Being. Despite the Burkes’ “high moral and ethical standards,” he said, the New Jersey state constitution declares that “no person shall be deprived of the inestimable privilege of worshiping Almighty God in a manner agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience.”
Bitch, please.

I hear you.
Absolutely atrocious!
Was that even a legal decision? Does law support or prohibit religion?
Just noticed the dateline on that article: Monday, Dec. 07, 1970. The decision was overturned July 1, 1971.
WTF! Why would they post a 37-year-old article??
Possibly because of Huckabee’s success in Iowa. Some are concerned about a return to a “faith-based” government, especially following on our current leader and the appointments to the Supremes.
