Liberty University Law School Dean Urges Uprising If SCOTUS Rules for Gay Marriage

As I have noted before, Liberty University in Lynchburg is a continuing blight on Virginia and Virginia's image across America and around the world.  It's it Christofascist gathering of lunatics and those who would overthrow the U. S. Constitution and impose a Christofascist theocracy on the nation.  And, there are strong suspicions that members of the Liberty University staff aid and abetted Lisa Miller in the kidnapping of her daughter in violation of both Vermont and Virginia supreme court rulings.  And leading this batshitery  - and arguably treason - is Matt Staver who also wears the hat of head of the viciously anti-gay Liberty Counsel.  And true to form, he trots out the lie that Christians are being persecuted and religious freedom threatened.  Right Wing Watch looks at Staver's call for insurrection should the U. S. Supreme Court uphold gay marriage.   Here are excerpts:

Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel spoke to Sandy Rios earlier today and warned that the Supreme Court “will become an illegitimate arbitrator of the rule of law” if “the court goes the wrong way” on the marriage equality cases.

Staver concluded that “the church and people of faith and values need to rise up” if the court rules in favor of same-sex marriage as “we just simply cannot allow this to become the law of the land.”

Staver: .  .  .  .  now we’re today and it’s the big day for Proposition 8 and DOMA and these are not conservative arguments that Ted Olson is going to make, these are judicial activism arguments, these are deconstructive arguments, these are arguments that will actually tear down the family and put the homosexual agenda, particularly led by same-sex marriage, on a collision course with the free exercise of religion.

Staver: This is a monumental point in American history. God forbid if the court goes the wrong way. If it does, the court will become an illegitimate arbitrator of the rule of law and become simply a political institution and it will ultimately hurt the value and the respect of the United States Supreme Court.

Rios: Well I totally agree with you, I think we really are on the precipice and it’s pretty scary. I’m seeing all kinds of prognostications of what’s going to happen and I think back to the hearing on Obamacare where almost everyone thought we knew which way the court was going to go and then we were shocked by Justice Roberts’ decision and we might be in for the same thing on this.

Staver: I pray that we are not. If we are, if worst case scenario the last week of June we come down with a bad decision, the church and people of faith and values need to rise up. We just simply cannot allow this to become the law of the land, it will fundamentally change who we are, it will fundamentally weaken the family and religious freedom will be in the crosshairs.

 Pardon me as I go vomit over Staver's deliberate lies.
