@AbolitionistFAA @TXAlliance4Life I think the problem is most Americans have, consciously or unconsciously, adopted metaphysical nihilism & few Christians seem to appreciate what that means for statutory law. It has been chewing up good laws since Holmes’s view of law gained ascendancy b4 SCOTUS in 1938.

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@AbolitionistFAA @pamstenz819 Interesting way to approach the matter. Very similar to the question God asked his people in Isaiah 5:4? Not understanding the “righteousness of God,” they needed a lot more help than they thought. Romans 10:2-3.

Took a look on https://t.co/hRYAPttSst today at what the scripture says is wisdom, and how it applies to the constitutional advice of this person in 2019.

@m81687077 @AbolitionistFAA @scottklusendorf I once thought that too Matthew. Wrote a book on it. But it disregards the objective & real nature of the Dominion of sin in a society of unregenerate people. The law provokes sin, according to Romans 6 unless the Holy Spirit is the one at work in a person.

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@bnuckols @ian_bruh1 @AbolitionistFAA @scottklusendorf Correct. A TN death during a robbery could be charged as a capital offense & produce a verdict of “criminally negligent homicide,” or pled down to breaking & entering bec. w/in the scope of the criminal conduct. But FAA’s proposal isn’t suitable for that kind of lesser offense.

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@bradleypierce @AbolitionistFAA @scottklusendorf Actually, in the statute that you want amended, the “lesser included offenses” would be second-degree murder 15years) and “voluntary manslaughter” and “reckless homicide.” You know the facts of an abortion do not fit the definition of the latter 2 lesser offenses. Just stop.

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@bradleypierce @AbolitionistFAA @scottklusendorf Not overlooking anything. You are amending the capital murder statute in TN. No DA could charge a woman with a “misdemeanor assault” for abortion. And if not charged the same as any other person who intentionally kills another, then it’s not really “equal” protection.

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@bradleypierce @AbolitionistFAA @scottklusendorf And when you asked for a conference call, I asked you to identify on your own social media the crime an abortive mother would be charged with in TN, you didn’t answer. Maybe now it’s because you know there is no “lesser offense” for murder in TN that would apply. Hmm??

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@AbolitionistFAA I hope FAA presented to them the actual legislation it is asking them to enforce in a straightforward way, presenting the whole picture, including the specific sanctions you want them to prosecute for, unlike what was done in Tennessee. It’s easy to agree with precepts.

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@GuntherEagleman I wonder why when I emailed him directly multiple times about supporting the Marital Contract at Common Law Act in TN declaring marriage the result of a man and a woman exchanging marital vows and telling the government by affidavit they were married, he NEVER responded?!

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@glitchdig0 @JanuaryDoNoHarm @RyanTAnd @ADFLegal No, because it’s only a judgment and not a law. But the rationale of the decision means that a state like TN is constitutionally prohibited from preventing licensed counselors from encouraging gender, transition procedures. That would be viewpoint discrimination!

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@JanuaryDoNoHarm @RyanTAnd @ADFLegal I think you’re actually urging ADF to practice the viewpoint discrimination that they said the constitution can’t allow. The constitution has to protect those who want to council towards gender transition. That’s what we won.

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@JohnnyGarrett @WilliamLamberth @realDonaldTrump @Riley_Gaines_ @Riley_Gaines_ I guess some of your friends in the county didn’t tell you that he killed the legislative effort to declare that a lawful marriage is only between a man and a woman. The law professor who heard your testimony was appalled at your ignorance of law as was I.

@ClayTravis And keeping with our bigs, I’ll suggest Len Kolsmoski

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@PhilNvestigates Phil, the statement quoted is an historical one.. Your quoting the constitution about the religious test is about the equivalent of somebody saying oranges are a fruit and you saying but the constitution says you can’t eat steak because they’re both foods. Smarten up, please.

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@JohnnyGarrett @AGPamBondi So glad that you have the magical power to transpose what is a simple trespass into a matter of constitutional protection. 🤔😳

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@FDogenews32 Hope

[David Fowler @SenatorFowler94]

@FRCdc @tperkins How about taking the position that I, and a few other lawyers recommended, that the word “person” in the 14th amendment must be defined by the common law and it includes the child in the mother‘s womb. Why didn’t FRC make that argument when the time was right in 2022 to do so??
