    GMAB, I thought it was for explaining to you about the status of DC, in response to your question.

    But none is necessary.

    The District of Columbia, as its name implies, is a fedral district and not a State.

    Article One, Section 8, of the United States Constitution:

    To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful buildings;–And

    To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.

    intellegent, Beautiful point!

    The Yidden were highly praised for having maintained their Jewish dress in Mitzrayim. At Krias Yam Suf we sang how the Egyptians boasted and attempted to overcome Klal Yisroel “Omar oyev erdof, asig, achalaik sholol” (I will chase them, I will overcome them, and I will give them our names, our language and our dress.)

    Jews have always had a Jewish way of dress, different than the pruste goy.

    Give me a break,

    The famous Ran in Nedarim categorically states that Dina Dmalchusa Dina is inapplicable in Eretz Yisroel (as every Yid has a G-d given right to live there.)

    Perhaps Obama had thought the United States had at some point annexed the 10 Canadian provinces, giving us 60 states. (In the 1800’s the was some agitation for the U.S. to annex Canada.)

    BTW, nowhere in the United States Constitution does it say, or imply, anything about “separation of church and state.”

    The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .” (like quoted by mariner.)

    Editor, I’m using it now on YW. No need for adjusting as far as I can tell. In any event, its market share is approx. 1% currently, since it is only 2 weeks old. It should improve over time. But the thing I find most beneficial regarding it, is its unparalleled speed in displaying webpages. (Notably faster than even Firefox in my opinion.)

    Under these laws, a religious institution is as much required to offer their employees these benefits as any private enterprise. (This has been a major point of lobbying contention with organizations such as Agudah and the Diocese.)

    New Jersey too:

    “Ccompanies that buy private health insurance plans for their employees are compelled to offer them to same-sex couples under the state’s civil union laws.”

    (Washington Post, 6/30/07)

    So a Yid with a private company in NJ (or a Jewish organization) would be required to recognize (and pay) for the sodomites “partners” insurance.

    illini –

    This is applicable to private enterprises and religious institutions. So your contention that “Civil unions have no effect on your religious institutions” is incorrect.

    illini, Since when have you become such a big States-Rights fan? States with civil union laws often require religious organizations to offer benefits to the sodomites “partner.” So it does affect us.

    Give me a break, you stated on a previous thread that you support abortion and sodomy marriage.

    illini – Your point is well taken, but Obama is not running against Palin, and Palin is not running for President.

    The position of Vice President, which Palin is running for, has very few constitutional duties. In fact, the only constitutional duty it carries, is being President of the United States Senate. (And even there, only votes in case of a tie.)

    So between choosing an inexperienced President and an inexperienced VP, who only becomes President in an unlikely event, the choice is clear. (Additionally, between the two, Obama’s “experience” is only legislative while Palin’s is executive — more appropriate for a Presidency.)

    Hit and run? Why assume malice where none exists? Why not assume righteousness that stares at you?

    He said he tried to find the owner at the time. He now feels that “at the time I didn’t try hard enough.”

    A Yid could question himself as not having tried hard enough to pay someone else.

    If its a hangout, it isn’t kosher.

    Co-ed is the worst. Once you kasher such tarfus, you’ll invite people who would never otherwise dream of doing such terrible things.

    Berlin, per your request above I present –

    Rav Chaim Soloveichik of Brisk:

    Dear Rabbi Moshe Carpas:

    I have also read your words in connection with the sect of the Zionists who are now powerfully banded together. I do not blush to admit that I do not know how to find paths to oppose them.

    Seeing that these men are known as evil in their localities, and have already proclaimed their purpose, which is to uproot the fundamentals of our faith, and to take over all Jewish communities to aid them in their plan.

    It is hardly credible that after the revelations of their arrogant hearts there should still be found right-minded men willing to ally themselves with them. It is greatly astonishing throughout the whole Jewish People that they should be given a place and a voice in public affairs, since it is known they are causing others to sin.

    Let the people guard their souls lest they join them in the destruction of our religion and become an obstacle to the House of Israel.

    _____

    “The Zionists do not make Jews heretics in order to have a state, they want a state in order to make Jews into heretics!”

    _____

    “The Jewish people have suffered many (spiritual) plagues — the Sadducees, Karaites, Hellenisers, Shabbatai Zvi, Enlightenment, Reform and many others. But the strongest of them all is Zionism.”

    _____

    “If you intend to give a coin to the Jewish National Fund, give it to another idolatry, but not to the Zionists, since this idolatry is worse then any other.”

    “[Zionists] want a state in order to make Jews into heretics. “

    When asked: aren’t we to pray for them, in order they should repent from their evil ways? He replied: three times a day in the prayer against the atheists we pray that they should be destroyed.
