Rittenhouse Judge screwed up!
Citing the Bible in open court can be a violation of the Jurors Constitutional Bill of Rights. Freedom of religion is a bill of right and when a juror is ordered to listen to a religionish passage, the judge violated his oath of office.
A Juror is a private citizen to be part of the judicial system, but their bill of rights shall be upheld at all times.
I would pay money to watch a court show where a DUmmy is the judge. (https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216048205)
Even this is too batshit stupid for the DUmmies:

3. Not sure where you got that idea
There is no such proscription. Judges have been citing the Bible for as long as we’ve had a judiciary.
My understanding is that he was instructing the court on the concept of hearsay… which does indeed connect to rights that go back to biblical times.

4. He wasn't proselytizing
He told a story about Roman law to get across the point that how we treat hearsay during trials has been a component in law for thousands of years.
It was a nothing burger.
The way people are reacting, you'd think he'd jumped into the jury box and asked if they know Jesus.
And so on.
Thanks for the midday laughs, DUmmies. Can't wait for the "RIP, Democracy" posts when the kid is rightfully acquitted next week.

They absolutely never cease to amaze me. Even after all these years. The mental gymnastics they are willing to go through to justify their hate, opinion, and point of view is just … wow!

I see they are no better at legal analysis than they are at using idioms correctly.

If Conclusion Jumping and Mental Gymnastics were Olympic sports, DUmmies would own the medal platforms.

If that's true then every case that has tried where any witness has sworn in with a bible and uttered "so help me God" should be immediately thrown out since "the Jurors Constitutional Bill of Rights" had been violated...

I am no constitutional scholar, but I believe the constitution says freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. :thatsright: :loser:

@ DUmmy Smackdown.
IF a witness swears on a Bible to tell the truth, it no violation to quote a Bible.
