Slavery, Sterilization, Sodomy & Abortion—The Legacy of Judicial Supremacy: The Court or the Constitution? Part 2

rgn_swear2

In the 1927 case Buck v. Bell, 274, the United States Supreme Court upheld a statute instituting compulsory sterilization of the unfit, including the mentally retarded, “for the protection and health of the state.” This decision flew blatantly in the face of the text of the Constitution, just as more recent cases such as Roe v.

Jesus was a Commie

“I think that you could define [Jesus] as a Utopian communist, where people would work together to solve our problems,” Modine told The Christian Post.
