A Murder That Altered The Constitution

[PoliticalChic]

Many complaints have been generated by the lack of vetting that Democrat/Liberals undergo....as compared to Republicans or conservatives do.
Vetting: make a careful and critical examination of one's qualifications and/or background.

Obama's, for example, was minimal...but....
When Sarah Palin arrived as a threat....

"Investigative Reporters Head to Alaska.... Alaska's getting pretty crowded...with investigative reporters and scandal-chasers."
Investigative Reporters Head to Alaska...And When Will Sarah Palin Meet the Press?



The following story, while of the same nature as above, the lack of scrutinizing, is far, far more significant. It also involves a Democrat, and lack of vetting.
..... the lack of careful investigation that changed America.

1. "When she was twelve years old, Ruth Stephenson was found sitting on the porch of the rectory of St. Paul’s Church in Birmingham, Alabama. She lived about a block away and was very attracted by the quiet faith of Catholics as they entered and left their church each day of the week. By chance, Ruth’s father happened by, saw her talking with the pastor, Fr. James Coyle, and peremptorily ordered her home."
The Murder of a Priest

2. Ruth's father was the Reverend Edwin Stephenson, "a minister of the now defunct Methodist Episcopal Church, South and a member of the Ku Klux Klan."
Sharon Davies, "Tragedy in Birmingham", Columbia Magazine, vol. 90, no. 3 (March 2010), p. 31.

"Last winter (when she was 18) he had whipped Ruth for staying out past nine thirty....On another occasion he had locked is daughter in her room for three days without food or water....Stephenson had joined in the lynching of an African American in 1902.....later he had shot a barber in his hometown of Birmingham."
Senator Mike Lee, "Our Lost Constitution," p. 89-90

3. During the summer of 1921, Stephenson went looking for his daughter, and went to the porch of the rectory of St. Paul’s Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and confronted the pastor, Fr. James Coyle.
"Where is my daughter?"
"With her husband."
"Well, my girl isn't married!!"
Coyle: "Your girl is a catholic, and she is married...I married her this evening."
"To whom???"
"...Pedro Gussman...a Catholic."
Gussman had once worked hanging wallpaper for Stephenson.



4. Stephenson had been famous for wishing "the whole Catholic institution was in hell!"
....now, his daughter married to a Catholic....and a Puerto Rican one at that!!!
"You have married her to that n***er! You...dirty, low down, yellow dog!"
Three shots rang out, and the unarmed Father James Coyle lay dead.
The Ku Klux Klan sprang into action arranging for a legal 'dream team' for Stephenson."
Ibid.



You'll never guess who the lead lawyer was....and how flimsy his vetting was.
But....he's pretty important in American history, and in the advancement of Democrat policy.

Murder is murder regardless if the murder was motivated by differences in race , faith , religion or politics.

There was no due process before issuing death as the penalty.

If you look, neither the daughter or father had due process in decisions being made. We need to resolve these conflicts instead of resorting to exclusion coercion bullying and political physical or deadly force.

The daughter was oppressed and deprived of her rights to consent dissent or exercise her beliefs. Marrying her in private also bypassed the natural process of seeking parental approval for the spouse to propose marriage . to resolve conflicts peacefully civilly and democratically takes equal mutual commitment to respect due process and not deprive or deny anyone's right to consent or dissent, but to include all beliefs and respect each other despite conflicts.

We still haven't learned to do this.
And people are still shooting each other down, physically or politically , because we can't deal with differences.

Many complaints have been generated by the lack of vetting that Democrat/Liberals undergo....as compared to Republicans or conservatives do.
Vetting: make a careful and critical examination of one's qualifications and/or background.

Investigative Reporters Head to Alaska...And When Will Sarah Palin Meet the Press?



The following story, while of the same nature as above, the lack of scrutinizing, is far, far more significant. It also involves a Democrat, and lack of vetting.
..... the lack of careful investigation that changed America.

1. "When she was twelve years old, Ruth Stephenson was found sitting on the porch of the rectory of St. Paul’s Church in Birmingham, Alabama. She lived about a block away and was very attracted by the quiet faith of Catholics as they entered and left their church each day of the week. By chance, Ruth’s father happened by, saw her talking with the pastor, Fr. James Coyle, and peremptorily ordered her home."
The Murder of a Priest

2. Ruth's father was the Reverend Edwin Stephenson, "a minister of the now defunct Methodist Episcopal Church, South and a member of the Ku Klux Klan."
Sharon Davies, "Tragedy in Birmingham", Columbia Magazine, vol. 90, no. 3 (March 2010), p. 31.

"Last winter (when she was 18) he had whipped Ruth for staying out past nine thirty....On another occasion he had locked is daughter in her room for three days without food or water....Stephenson had joined in the lynching of an African American in 1902.....later he had shot a barber in his hometown of Birmingham."
Senator Mike Lee, "Our Lost Constitution," p. 89-90

3. During the summer of 1921, Stephenson went looking for his daughter, and went to the porch of the rectory of St. Paul’s Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and confronted the pastor, Fr. James Coyle.
"Where is my daughter?"
"With her husband."
"Well, my girl isn't married!!"
Coyle: "Your girl is a catholic, and she is married...I married her this evening."
"To whom???"
"...Pedro Gussman...a Catholic."
Gussman had once worked hanging wallpaper for Stephenson.



4. Stephenson had been famous for wishing "the whole Catholic institution was in hell!"
....now, his daughter married to a Catholic....and a Puerto Rican one at that!!!
"You have married her to that n***er! You...dirty, low down, yellow dog!"
Three shots rang out, and the unarmed Father James Coyle lay dead.

It was Hugo Black, the lead lawyer, chosen by the KKK, for this low-life killer, Reverend Edwin Stephenson was!
BTW....the lawyer's BFF was the very highest of Democrat icons!!
Really.



5. It was a high-school dropout who failed his state teachers' exam who wound up becoming a lawyer...and proved to be an excellent one at that..
His name was Hugo Black.
Hugo Black changed the Constitution, and America.

"In the early 20th century, anti-Catholic bigots promoted the doctrine of "a wall of separation between church and state" to extinguish Catholic schools and other institutions. The Ku Klux Klan spearheaded the "wall of separation" doctrine. " Defense attorney Black joined the Ku Klux Klan [where he] was a Kladd of the Klavern, which was an initiator of new Klansmen." Egnorance: Hugo Black and the real history of "the wall of separation between church and state"


"... Black was head of new members for the largest Klan cell in the South. New members of the KKK had to pledge their allegiance to the “eternal separation of Church and State.”... Separation was a crucial part of the KKK’s jurisprudential agenda. It was included in the Klansman’s Creed... " How Separation of Church and State Was Read Into the Constitution (Hint: the KKK got its way) - The Volokh Conspiracy



I'll show how lack of vetting changed America .....
....coming right up.

Soooo, KKKer Hugo Black organizes the defense for cold-blooded bigot Stephenson....



6. "The trial that followed was one of the most famous, and the most watched, in American history. Stephenson was prosecuted by Joseph Tate, who was voted out of office forever after; the defense was led by Hugo Black..." The Murder of a Priest

"Stephenson's preliminary hearing was held on August 24, 1921. His daughter testified that he had often made threats against Coyle's life. Coyle's sister and housekeeper testified that there had been no raised voices or scuffling prior to the shooting, contradicting Stephenson's claim that he had fired in self-defense after the priest threatened and assaulted him."
"Stephenson is Bound Over to Grand Jury after Preliminary", The Miami News, 24 Aug. 1921.


Open and shut????
Not so fast....

"The trial started on October 17, 1921. The defense entered a dual plea of "not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity", arguing that Stephenson had acted both in self-defense and had been temporarily insane at the time. Stephenson was acquitted and released.
He died on October 3, 1956, at the age of 86." E. R. Stephenson - Wikipedia



“History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes,” as Mark Twain is often reputed to have said.

"If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!"



Now....knowing the above, i.e., vetting the guy.....what future should be awarded Hugo Black?

 

[PoliticalChic]

7. Sooooo.....how is the lack of vetting related to changing America???
Democrats, the supporters of slavery, segregation, lynching, saw Hugo Black as just their kinda fella....no vetting necessary.

Considered their 'god,' before Obama received the appellation, Franklin Roosevelt, was no great friend to minorities....not blacks, not Jews, not Asians.



Guess who Franklin Delano Roosevelt picked as his very first nominee for the Supreme Court?
Right!! Hugo Black
Well, it was only fitting, after all, Democrat created the KKK.



"Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who endorsed Alfred E. Smith at the 1924 Democratic National Convention, also known as the “klanbake,” and who snubbed black American Olympian Jesse Owens,..." How FDR avoided Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black's Ku Klux Klan scandal - Liberty Unyielding



Now....about that lack of vetting:
"At a press conference on Sept 14 1937, Roosevelt was asked about whether he had knowledge of Black's involvement with the Ku Klux Klan. He responded in part, “I know only what I have read in the newspapers…Mr. Justice Black is abroad. Until such time as he returns there is no further comment to be made.”[18]

On Sept 21 1937, FDR was again asked during a press conference about whether or not he had communications with Hugo Black regarding his involvement in the Ku Klux Klan. Again, FDR denied speaking with Hugo Black, and when asked about whether the Department of Justice should be "charged automatically" with investigating supreme court appointments, FDR said in part, "No, certainly not...a man's private life is supposed to be his private life..."
Hugo Black - Wikipedia



"....a man's private life is supposed to be his private life..."

Seems that, to Democrats, lynching is simply a hobby......

Murder is murder regardless if the murder was motivated by differences in race , faith , religion or politics.

There was no due process before issuing death as the penalty.

If you look, neither the daughter or father had due process in decisions being made. We need to resolve these conflicts instead of resorting to exclusion coercion bullying and political physical or deadly force.

The daughter was oppressed and deprived of her rights to consent dissent or exercise her beliefs. Marrying her in private also bypassed the natural process of seeking parental approval for the spouse to propose marriage . to resolve conflicts peacefully civilly and democratically takes equal mutual commitment to respect due process and not deprive or deny anyone's right to consent or dissent, but to include all beliefs and respect each other despite conflicts.

We still haven't learned to do this.
And people are still shooting each other down, physically or politically , because we can't deal with differences.

Have you noticed that I 'deal with difference' on a daily basis?

You have?

Excellent.

I hope you'll stay tuned for the rest of this thread.

Dear PoliticalChic
What I MEAN is that we haven't managed differences in POLITICAL BELIEFS.
All we have is voting over the opposition and/or voting each other out of office.

But the damage is done in the meantime.
Look at the ACA mandates, look at the marriage and bathroom policies.

Just opposing the opposition isn't enough
when both sides demand equal rights and protections of Their respective BELIEFS.

That's what I mean.

The sides get so entrenched in their beliefs
they VIOLATE the rights of others to their equal beliefs!!!!

Why can't we AGREE to treat political beliefs like religious beliefs.
And agree to let people FUND THEIR OWN.

Muslims and Hindus do not put their beliefs up to a vote,
and impose one set of beliefs on the nation while denying, excluding and penalizing the other
if they fail to comply WITH RULES THEY DIDN'T AGREE TO THAT VIOLATE THEIR BELIEFS.

Why do we continue to allow political parties to do what we ban religious groups from doing??
