Questions for your Christian Super-Lawyer

As we enter yet another surreal month of unconstitutional government-issued sodomy permission slips (aka homosexual marriage licenses) being issued at county courthouses in my home state of Iowa, questions linger regarding how this could possibly be happening here in the heartland.

Over the last five months of this debacle of depravity, I have done countless interviews with "experts" on the subject, and still no one can explain to me and the nearly quarter of a million Iowans who listen to my show each week why homosexual marriage is "legal" despite the fact no law was ever passed by the State Legislature making it so.

Now, I didn't attend law school, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so it's quite possible I was playing video games while they changed the Constitution, but if they did change it, I must have an old copy or something because I can't find any language in there at all about courts making the law. Maybe that's right next to that whole "separation of church and state" thing I can never find.

In lieu of receiving the updated version, I have some questions for your Friendly Neighborhood American Christian Conservative Super-Lawyer that those of you like me who are still sadly holding on to the original Constitution may also have:

1. Did our Founding Fathers intend for us to be subject to laws passed by people we did not elect?
2. Is there anything in the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, or any of our founding documents that says that judges have the legal authority to make the law?
3. Is there anything in the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, or any of our founding documents that says the other two branches of government are inferior to the judicial branch?
4. Does the Iowa Constitution say the ultimate political authority in Iowa is the people of Iowa, or the courts in Iowa?
5. Does either the federal or Iowa Constitution enumerate the power of making law to any branch other than the legislature?
6. Several of you American Christian conservative super-lawyers claim we need to elect more Republicans so they will nominate the "right" judges. However, if just electing more Republicans to appoint judges was the right strategy here, shouldn't the two judges nominated to the State Supreme Court by former Republican Gov. Terry Branstad have voted against sodomy marriages?
7. If just electing more Republicans to appoint judges was the right strategy here, how do you explain away the fact that seven of the nine Supreme Court judges who gave us Roe v. Wade, Rasul v. Bush, Lawrence v. Texas and Kelo v. New London were appointed by Republicans? 
8. If just electing Republicans to appoint judges was the right strategy, how do you account for the growing power of a Federal Judiciary that features nearly 60 percent of the judges being appointed by Republicans?
9. In Varnum v. Brien, the Iowa Supreme Court invoked the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (equal protection under the law) to justify its decree supporting sodomy marriages.  Since they've invoked federal law for their precedent, what happens after an amendment to the State Constitution passes (if we ever get a vote for one) and the homosexual lobby takes it to a sympathetic federal judge to have it "struck down" as was done in neighboring Nebraska. Granted, a federal appeals court later overruled the federal judge in that case, but why was that even necessary? Doesn't the fact that the federal appeals court had to overrule him at all indicate the false premise of legal positivism?
10. If the courts can now strike down amendments, too, what further recourse do the people have?  Do we just hand over our freedom and morality because the courts have spoken, and there's nothing more we can do until we get "our" judges in there to make things right?
11. If that's your answer, how would you morally justify the 50 million babies that have been murdered because of that strategy since Roe v. Wade?  We had another group of murderers at a place called Nuremberg once try to make the case "the law is the law" so they had to murder innocent people.  They were called Nazis, and we executed almost every one of them, in case you forgot that.
12. When the court eventually decides it wants to take away our right to self-defense (D.C. vs. Heller lost by a 5-4 vote and new justice Sonia Sotomayor doesn't believe you have a right to self-defense in the Constitution), do we then just hand over our guns because the Court said so?
13. What is the "law" and what is it based on? Is the "law" an already determined standard, or does it evolve along with societal mores and accompanying legal precedents?
14. What is the highest law?
15. Should Christians, including your Super-Lawyer selves, obey the Law of God or the law of man?

The reason I think we ordinary folks should ask these questions of your Friendly Neighborhood American Christian Conservative Super-Lawyer is because they are supposedly our watchers on the wall. Therefore, shouldn't we ask them to take a stand for righteousness and the Constitution they swore to uphold before we self-righteously condemn an organization in opposition to the Kingdom of God like the ACLU?

Before asking non-Christians to honor the Scriptures and the Constitution, shouldn't we first ask the professed Christians and constitutionalists to do so? Especially since they're raising millions and millions of dollars for their advocacy from their fellow Christian and appearing on Christian media outlets 24/7?

My fear is that since your Friendly Neighborhood American Christian Conservative Super-Lawyer is unable to answer these questions, or perhaps unwilling, he is actually helping the cause of evil while attempting to do what he thinks is good. By buying into the ungodly and unconstitutional premises of the American left, he is moving the ball down the field for the other team.

Which means even when we "win" we still lose.

And in case you haven't noticed, despite all the money your Friendly Neighborhood American Christian Conservative Super-Lawyer has raised from our donations, and all the votes we've cast for the compromised political candidates your Friendly Neighborhood American Christian Conservative Super-Lawyer told us to vote for, we've been losing a lot lately.

Our very way of life is at stake, and your Friendly Neighborhood American Christian Conservative Super-Lawyer has a lot to answer for before it's too late.
