Steyn didnt go to trial?
Shanbaum passed the bar and is a lawyer.
Legislature's write/create laws but don't you think by the judges interpreting the law they do in fact make the law?
Take the original constitution and the 3/5th's compromise concerning slaves. Up until the civil war judges made the law by denying slaves a full vote.
Just spent some time in my trusty Oxford American dictionary.
Make- 3. to establish (laws or rules or distinctions)
Establish- 3. to cause people to accept

There was a hearing, not a trial. He was not called to testify, nor was he required to attend. The interesting thing is Steyn was hoping the BC Human Rights Tribunal would hear the case and would rule against him, to prove that Canada has no free speech. He was wrong, as the case proved that Canadians do have free speech.
Rev. Scott Boision. The Christian preacher is now forbidden for life from ever citing Bible verses regarding homosexuality in his sermons, or in newspapers, by email, on the radio, in public speeches, or on the Internet.
Why cant this guy cite bible verses?

I don't know. I have no idea who he is. I am a knowledgable person, but I do not know everything.
All I know is I have written letters to the editor, I have had my own talk radio show in University, and I have taken free speech very far. I have never been in trouble for it.
The liberal news stations never ran any footage of "rev wright" Obamas pastuer niether. They never run anything against liberals. But i agree Rev Wright has the right to say what he says. I just feel the news stations should have let everybody know what he says so everybody would have seen what kind of man Obama listned to the last 20 years.
Try taking that speech in the direction of traditional values or about muslim extremists and see what happens.
Look at this.. liberals always have this reaction when they dont like what they hear

I see the "liberal" news stations always running stuff against the left wings.
Let's be perfectly frank here. The "liberal" news stations are hardly liberal at all. In 2002 and 2003, something was happening. All over the World, the news stations were publishing both sides of the argument. They showed what actually was happening with this situation, and it led to predictable consequences if the situation moved forward.
In the US, CNN, NBC, CBS, ect, all towed the Republican President's line, not presenting the other side of the story. They never discussed what was really happening, but instead only published what was coming out of the White House.
This event in question was the War on Iraq. There was so much of the truth not published by American journalists leading up to the War. Information such as that there were no WMDs, that Saddam was destroying the weapons he did have, that every ultimatum Bush was providing Saddam, Saddam was following, ect.
Your media failed you, and failed you because they towed the Conservative line.
I agree that some liberals do not believe in freedom of speech, just like some conservatives do not agree with freedom of speech. But to say that Canada has no freedom of speech and if you say something wrong you will wind up in jail... That is just wrong.
Again though, where is your freedom when two consenting adults that are not providing harm to each other are not allowed to marry each other?
Nice! We need to get rid of those activist judges, especially the ones who put Bush in the whitehouse in 2000.
JG43, learn to use the "reply with quote" button so we know what you are referencing. Thanks.
You are right. Every morning, school children should be forced to pray to Allah.
That is a downright lie. god is referenced way too much, even Obama ends every speech with "god bless America". Please stop lying.
How would you like to stop the mosque from being built? Would you like the government to get involved?:hammer:
Are you implying that you know more than someone who has passed his bar exam? That's pretty arrogant and elitist of you.
What should the penalty be for coveting thy neighbor's wife? How about working on Sunday? Hmmmm?
If the principles are given by god, it is, by definition, a religious government.
Another blatant lie. Do all conservative repubicans lie this much?
You need to do some additional research.
Then why do you hate him so much?
Abortion is not murdering the unborn, nor is it an anti-American belief. Most Americans support a woman's right top decide what to do with a clump of cells in her uterus.
What about the will of the people? If the will of the people is to allow something specifically forbidden by god, like a tattoo, let's say, should it be allowed. In Other words, should America obey your god's rules, Muslim American's god's rules, or the will of the American people?
A stronger middle class makes a stronger America, and is better for our economy. The Bush Recession would not have happened, were it not for the huge wealth gap that the conservative repubicans caused.
Any justice system is based on societal norms, hence "social justice".
Is that Glen Beck's hand I see moving your mouth?
Who has he demonised? Saddam Hussein? No, that was Bush. Ambassador Wilson? No, that was Bush. Pelosi and Reid? No, that's the TEA baggers. Who?
Jesus healed people for free, and would support socialized healthcare. He told me so. He Also fed the masses and the hungry for free. He told me to tell you that you should do that, too.
No, he always has. He just doesn't want the free market to trample the middle class into the ground. And the free market is trying to, you know.
No free speech in Europe/Canada? Open you eyes, lady! Get your information from somewhere other than Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Oreilly, and the rest of those crazies.
Who has been jailed for saying anything about muslim extremists? Anybody? Beuhler?
...Just ask me...
