Are our feelings the basis of the “Rule of Law?” It appears so according the United States Supreme Court these days. However, former Chief Justice Roy Moore writes in his Worldnetdaily.com article today that:

Valentine’s Day is a special occasion when we express our feelings for those we love. But imagine that we lived in a world governed only by our “feelings,” a world where the law provided recourse to sue whenever someone else’s manner of speech, mode of dress, or anything else offended us. Of course, that would most certainly be a very litigious society with everyone suing everyone else just to avoid being “offended,” a chaotic system governed by the sentiments of that old love song: “Feelings, nothing more than feelings.” Obviously, our emotions should never - and could never - be a “rule of law” to govern our behavior....

In 1984, former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor introduced a new rule in the case of Lynch v. Donnelly: that a person made to “feel” like a political “outsider” by another’s acknowledgment of God could suffer an actionable injury under the First Amendment. Today those buzzwords, “political outsider,” are frequently thrown around by the ACLU and other liberal organizations to justify suits against state and federal entities that recognize the sovereignty of the Judeo-Christian God....

When God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai, “there were thunders and lightnings” so that all the people “in the camp trembled.” (Exodus 19:16) While there was no thunder or lightning when Dixie County placed that Law on public display at their courthouse, it obviously still caused the ACLU fear. They may be offended, but that does not mean they can misuse the law just to soothe their hurt feelings.
