I wrote the attached document on June 26, 2017, the day the U.S. Supreme Court perfidiously & unconstitutionally ordered all States of the Union to approve homosexual sodomy marriage. I had awakened that morning with the distinct sense while praying that I should write something, not knowing it was the day that Court would issue its opinion.

Today’s judicial independence is an out-of-control religious, philosophical, political, jurisprudential anarchy that, if continued, will result in the spiraling out of control of the American experiment in representative democracy. Why?
