The wall would certainly help, however, no one should be fooled into believing it will stop all i*****l i*********n. Better than the wall would be to stop the reasons for coming here illegally. These include:

1, Stiff penalties for hiring i******s, including taking away business license.
2. Similar penalties for renting housing to i******s.
3. No government benefits or licenses to i******s
4. No education for i******s.
5. No citizenship for those born here unless one parent is a citizen.

I am sure others can add to the list, but you get he idea. To stop i*****l i*********n we have to stop any and all benefits that they obtain from coming here illegally. This would apply to those already here and they would deport themselves.

WND EXCLUSIVE
Write and wrong: Calligraphers face jail for refusing L**T weddings
'This contradicts basic freedoms our nation has always cherished'

He is also a photographer whose scenic work has been used commercially.

With all the court rulings recently protecting speech, and especially religious speech, unresolved cases still remain.

One is asking the Arizona Supreme Court to overturn a Phoenix law controlling the speech of artists, specifically two Christians who run a calligraphy company.

An appeal has been filed with the high court by the Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Joanna Duka and Breanna Koski, who run Brush & Nib Studio.

The women face up to six months in jail if they refuse to promote same-sex marriages with their business.

But doing so, they explain, would violate their freedom of artistic expression and constitutional right to decide which messages they will adopt.

Judges Lawrence Winthrop, Jennifer Campbell and Paul McMurdie on the Arizona Court of Appeals affirmed the city’s restrictions on speech.

So ADF has filed a brief with the Arizona Supreme Court citing several recent decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court. They include the ruling upholding Colorado baker Jack Phillips’ right to refuse to bake a cake to promote same-sex marriage and the decision against California’s requirement that pro-life crisis pregnancy centers must promote a******n businesses.

“Artists shouldn’t be forced to create artwork contrary to their core convictions, and certainly not under threat of criminal fines and jail time,” said ADF Senior Counsel Jonathan Scruggs, who argued the case before the Arizona Court of Appeals. “The government must allow artists to make their own decisions about which messages they will promote. Breanna and Joanna are happy to design custom art for all people; they simply object to being forced to pour their heart, soul, imagination, and talent into creating messages that violate their conscience.”

He said the court’s decision “allows the government to compel two artists who happily serve everyone to convey a message about marriage they disagree with.”

“This contradicts basic freedoms our nation has always cherished,” he said.

Duka and Koski create custom artwork using hand painting, hand lettering and calligraphy to celebrate weddings and other events. ADF said the women’s religious convictions guide them in determining which messages they can and cannot promote through their artwork.

But the city’s ordinance “forces the two artists to use their artistic talents to celebrate and promote same-sex marriage in violation of their beliefs.”

“It also bans them from publicly communicating what custom artwork they can and cannot create consistent with their faith. The law threatens up to six months in jail, $2,500 in fines, and three years of probation for each day that there is a violation.”

The ADF brief said that if the women “politely decline to create custom artwork celebrating same-sex weddings or publish their desired statement [explaining how their religious beliefs prevent them from creating certain artwork], Phoenix will prosecute them.”

“But the [Court of Appeals] upheld this application as consistent with Arizona’s free-speech and free-exercise protections. This court should grant this petition to clarify whether public accommodation laws trump free-speech and free-exercise rights, to correct the COA’s narrow understanding of these important freedoms, and to align Arizona’s jurisprudence with recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions.

“Art is ‘speech itself,’ and so a law compelling art compels speech.”

The city’s position, as it now stands, could be interpreted to “force paid Democratic speechwriters to write for Republican politicians,” the filing explains.

WND reported last month when the Court of Appeals sided with the Phoenix speech restrictions.

The case was triggered by the L**T advocacy by the city of Phoenix.

The lower court judges lashed out at the artists, charging that they “are not the first to attempt to use their religious beliefs to justify practices others consider overtly discriminatory.”

The judges refused to admit that creating custom wedding invitations and artwork was “expressive conduct.”


Anyone who believes that this is not a well orchestrated attempt to further destroy the rights of the majority so that a very small minority can become powerful using anticonstitutional powers.

Yep, we climate deniers are to blame for the somewhat warm weather on the East Coast, according to Betty Midler. Two years we were to blame for the unusually cold weather there and now we are the reason for the warm weather this week. I wonder if she and other c*****e c****ers have ever heard of el nino. I will surely bet that they know about it but since it doesn't fit the old hockey stick meme they just don't accept it.

So if Donald saw Muslims celebrating in Jersey City--as the twin towers came down--why hasn't anyone, including FOX been able to find the footage that Donnie is talking about? I understand the value of freedom of speech but this is a blatant lie that boils down to nothing more than h**e speech. Now I so hope that Don ends up as your nominee because if he continues at the pace he is setting now his mouth won't be able to stand up to the scrutiny it's going to be subjected to. Try as you may you can't find that which isn't there which means the only thing to be exposed is the h**e behind his oh so very sick rhetoric.

Now, this really isn't about Donald because he is simply saying what his followers want to hear; and oh do they want to hear it--they lap it up like a pit bull that hasn't had water in over a week. Is this the "t***h" you guys keep speaking of? You guys are sicker than Donald is and Don is probably the sickest mother fu#ker ever to run for the office of president. Christ almighty people, what kind of tracking do you people want--tattoos on the arms for all people to see? D********g, absolutely d********g, that's all I really have to say...
