Louie Gohmert tells the Supreme Court: Jesus’ law more important than constitutional law

[TexasTowelie]

Texas Idiot Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert went on a rambling tangent Thursday in Congress that started with his disagreement with the Trans-Pacific Partnership and spiraled into what was almost a sermon denouncing gay marriage.

Gohmert believes the United States was founded as and meant to be a Christian nation and that the laws of Moses and Jesus trump the Supreme Court. The Court is set to issue a ruling on gay marriage later this month.

“It is a matter of a constitutional crisis when the Highest Court in the land not merely strikes down and says that their opinion is more important than Moses’, depicted up there in the center point of this room, more important than Moses’, depicted in the marble wall over the Supreme Court, holding the Ten Commandments,” the congressman said on the House floor.

“The Supreme Court says theirs is more important than the opinions established and stated by Jesus Christ when he said–and he was quoting Moses–that a man shall leave his mother and father, a woman leave her home, and the two will come together and be one flesh, and what God has joined together, let no man put asunder.”

4. Its apparent that Louie is too stupid to read the Bible where Moses explains the meaning of

the separation of faith and law (church and state) in the Old Testament.

Paul teaches separation of church and state in the New Testament based on the teachings of Moses and that Christ will shoulder both faith and law when He returns in the Second Coming. Until the Second Coming, Faith and Law are to remain separated according to the Bible.

Louie, read the Bible for yourself. Don't listen to privatizer preachers with one hand on the bible and the other hand open to money changers. We all know that Ted Cruz speaks in churches that he will shut down the IRS if elected president, so that We The People, can bring the money and income taxes, to the Church, for dispensing.

5. Which commandment is he referring to?

The one about cattle?
I think that is a problem unique to Texas.

6. I seem to recall something called the U.S. Constitution

...that Louie would have sworn to uphold and defend.

That pesky document establishes the judicial (including the Supreme Court) as the arbiter to settle claims.

Remember that little document Louie?
