Staying on
and continuing to fight the battle to maintain what’s left of the American
system of checks and balances has only an extremely
limited appeal , for the reasons we’ve just stated. Further, for those who
would urge us to stay on and fight the culture war, we would conclude that the culture war is over . The recent
election confirmed the end of that war, and by this we don’t mean only the
re-election of the nation’s historically most politically extreme President.
American voters also, by the hundreds of thousands, cast their votes for same
sex marriage, as I warned several years ago would occur, voted for the use of
previously illegal drugs and in one of the nation’s largest states refused to
bar the use of public funds for abortions. It’s
over , our fellow Americans. Forty years of aborted Americans , over fifty-seven
million of them, is stark proof that the nation will not and never will
change this cruel and unusual punishment of the unborn. Again, the American culture war has been lost ,
and a majority of Americans have made the decision as to the winning side .”
             The
assembled media, most of whom were themselves liberal and who favored abortion,
same sex marriage and the legalization of drugs, were clearly not sympathetic to
the words they were hearing. However, it was just as obvious from the spreading
smiles across the mass of reporters that they were slowly realizing the
enormity of what was just said. Their side had, in fact, won . Finally, the white flag of surrender had been waved by none
other than two of the nation’s leading right wing jurists. What a day, what a story to report , many concluded.
             The
next day the New York Times published an editorial urging the President to
nominate self-identified lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender lawyers to
all three vacancies on the Court, as a “sure
sign that this White House will do whatever it takes to make up for years of
bigoted discrimination against our LGBT brothers and sisters.” The Majority
Leader of the U. S. Senate responded to the editorial suggestion by promising
to“swiftly confirm whomever the President deems fit to
serve on the Supreme Court, particularly if the three nominees are all LGBT . It’s time.”

             Jack Madison’s church followed the southern tradition of a
Wednesday night meal and church service. A few years back Jack had suggested
that the Wednesday night service be divided between the men and women, with a
Bible study course for each, to encourage attendance. His suggestion worked as
double the number of Wednesday night attendees showed up for food and
scripture. Jack liked to teach the men, when he was in town, and Debbie
normally led the women’s study. Tonight’s meal was chicken fried steak, mashed
potatoes, green beans, and brownie alamode, routinely the most popular meal.
             After dinner, Jack went to the men’s half of the sanctuary
that was walled off with movable partitions. As he picked up his Bible and his
notes he realized that there was the distinct possibility that this men’s Bible
study could be his last for some time, particularly if the courts treat him the
same way the feds abused his dad, keeping him in prison, without the benefit of
habeas corpus or bail. He planned to teach tonight on facing the Goliaths of
life, as it fit well into their study of the life of David. He had written at
the end of his notes that he would tell the men that he and Chuck Webster, his
lawyer, would be appearing in federal court the next morning and ask for their
prayers. He never got a chance to do so.
             As Jack approached the small lectern used for the men’s
study he looked up with surprise to see the back doors of the room fly open.
Several persons wearing vests with large yellow letters proclaiming Federal Marshal burst into the room,
walking quickly, almost at a trot, to get to the
