Appearing on Chris Matthews Hardball, Roy Moore attorney Herb Titus used the plain text of the Constitution to convince host Matthews that a monument does not constitute an establishment of religion.

Titus, a former ACLU attorney converted to Christ and later responsible for the development of a distinctively Christian law program at Regent University, held the feet of fellow guest and President of Americans United For Separation of Church and State, Barry Lynn, to the fire for falsely claiming that judges make law.

Quoting from Monday’s article by the Chief Justice which appeared in the Wall Street Journal, host Chris Matthews asked Barry Lynn for his response to the fact that the Alabama Constitution begins with an acknowledgement of God as the foundation of the judicial system. Lynn dodged the question and instead raised a straw man about the Chief Justice receiving private revelation from God.

The broadcast demonstrated the weakness of the opposition’s position which is primarily based on bluff and bluster about American history. Ultimately, they must concede that our institutions and documents are laced with references to much more than a deistic entity, but to the Almighty of Holy Scriptures.
