Jerry
Falwell to Oversee Law School that Will Groom Future Republican Administration
Supreme Court Appointments
A BuzzFlash News Analysis
Not long ago, in an underreported speech, Justice Antonin "The Fixer" Scalia spoke about how the Constitution was derived from God, and, therefore, in essence, God was sometimes to be factored into Supreme court decisions. Scalia, a member of a powerful conservative Catholic sect called Opus Dei, was merely reconfirming the Bush Cartel commitment to governing America not through laws, but through laws interpreted through a theocratic prism. Just ask John Ashcroft, who regularly anoints himself, and has repeatedly declared that God is the King of America.
With all the right wing judges sitting on America's courts, you would think there would be enough of them to meet the Stepford-like loyalty oath to God-before-democracy required by the Bush Administration.
But apparently, there must be a shortage of judges hot-wired to heaven, because Jerry Falwell is opening a law school to create a sort of farm league for the God Squad judiciary.
In his most recent "Falwell Confidential" e-mail alert, Jerry breathlessly announces. (BuzzFlash is not making this up. This is an actual Falwell e-mail alert sent out on October 11th):
"FROM: Jerry Falwell
Liberty University to Initiate School of Law Next Year
In my writings for "Falwell Confidential," I try to remain focused on the pertinent issues of the day. However, I am so excited about a new endeavor here at Liberty University, I decided to use this edition to share an important announcement with my weekly readers.
Since I founded Liberty University in 1971, I have envisioned that our first professional school would be a school of law. On October 8, my dream was realized. On that day, the Liberty University Board of Trustees officially approved the formation of the Liberty University School of Law and commissioned our president, John M. Borek Jr., to take the necessary steps to begin classes in the 2003 fall semester. Needless to say, I am excited beyond words about this bold move that I believe will ultimately have a nationwide impact.
Liberty University's School of Law will employ professors who are: committed to the inspiration and infallibility of the Bible; committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ; committed to a strict constructionist view of the U.S. Constitution; committed to training godly attorneys for the law profession, for service in American government or as judges and justices. Our law school, like Liberty University, will recruit students who have a desire to impact our nation and the world for our Savior.
In a nation that, in one generation, has legalized abortion on demand, removed prayer and Bible reading from our schools and more recently attempted to outlaw the Pledge of Allegiance because of the words "under God," it is high time that we create a law school that will produce men and women who are committed to the Judeo-Christian ethic, the preciousness of human life and the defense of the Judeo-Christian values that formed this great nation.
In recent years, we have witnessed an acceleration of discrimination and persecution against people of faith in the workplace and in our nation's public schools. The Liberty University School of Law will intently focus on training attorneys who will aggressively defend the religious rights of people of faith in this nation. I envision our graduates going forth to win many important battles against the anti-religious zealots at the American Civil Liberties Union.
In the past, our pre-law students have gone on from Liberty to the great law schools of America. My son, Jerry Falwell Jr., attended the University of Virginia School of Law and is today chief counsel of Liberty University. David Gibbs III went out from Liberty to the Duke University School of Law and today he and his father lead the very influential Christian Law Association. Many other Liberty graduates are now making an impact in the legal world after earning their law degrees in a variety of institutions. Now we will have the opportunity to train future conservative lawyers right here at Liberty!
As you can see, we are prepared to make a momentous impact on our nation very quickly. I request that readers keep Liberty University in your prayers. I truly believe that we are training future generations of conservative warriors who will dramatically impact our culture.
I encourage my "Falwell Confidential" friends to pray for Liberty University's leadership as we provide guidance and direction for God's University."
There you have it. In no time at all, Jerry Falwell will be producing little Antonin Scalia and William Rehnquist clones in his Liberty University Law School laboratory.
Of course, BuzzFlash is amazed that Mr. Falwell (we can't bring ourselves to call the charlatan Reverend) has the time to embark upon an enterprise of this magnitude. After all, he has been so busy inciting the Moslem world by calling the founder of their religion a "terrorist." I mean, when one man can provoke riots in Islamic countries, without a word of chastisement coming from the White House, you would think he might be a bit preoccupied. But not our Jerry!
The next step, BuzzFlash kids you not, will be Jerry obtaining "faith-based funding" (AKA religious pork) from his good friend Mr. Bush. Yes, those will be our taxpayer dollars going to support a flim-flam bigoted preacher. Heck, Pat Robertson has already gotten $500,000 of our money through a Bush Cartel "faith-based" grant. And we thought these guys were supposed to be on the outs with the White House after they suggested that gays and the "moral decay" of America were responsible for the September 11th terrorist attack. Silly us!
So, in a few years, if the Bush regime establishes permanent rule over America, expect to see Liberty School Law School graduates on the Supreme Court bench. You'll know them because they will be the ones with antennas protruding from their heads, so as better to receive ruling instructions from God -- or maybe it will be Karl Rove at the other end of the line.
