AP-In a decision that outraged the Facist Christian Right, the Supreme Court today struck down laws outlawing murder and theft, stating the influence of Judeo-Christianity's sixth and eighth commandments in the crafting of those laws was an unconstitutional violation of the seperation of church and state.
In a 6-3 decision, Justices Breyer, Kennedy, Ginsburg, O'Connor, Stevens and Souter found that laws outlawing theft and murder violated the establishment clause. In the majority opinion, Ginsburg stated that the majority had consulted laws of foreign nations for enlightenment, and decided that the freedom to murder and steal in such luminary United Nations' countries as the Sudan, Cuba, and Libya led to greater freedoms amongst the people.
In a very brief and terse dissenting opinion, Justices Rehnquist, Scalia, and Thomas stated that "The majority in this case can go to hell."
(Yep, satire. Don't get your undies bunched.)
