Jamie Raskin questioned a 16-year-old Texas student, Marco Hunter-Lopez, during a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing about whether political Islam and Sharia law are compatible with the U.S. Constitution.Hunter-Lopez testified about a lunch-time booth and materials related to Islam and Sharia, claiming administrators did not intervene, and he alleged that school scrutiny differed for his circumstances versus others.<\/p>\n<p>The article argues that Raskin showed confusion about founding documents and the \u201cseparation of church and state\u201d concept, claiming the Constitution doesn\u2019t establish a religion and then framing Jefferson\u2019s \u201cwall of separation\u201d letter as if it were part of law.It emphasizes Hunter-Lopez\u2019s rebuttal that the \u201cletter, not a law\u201d distinction matters, and it portrays Raskin\u2019s later exchanges about acknowledging \u201cAmerican\u201d (and specifically christian) heritage as turning into strawman arguments.<\/p>\n<p>it claims Hunter-Lopez outperformed Raskin in constitutional understanding during the hearing and uses the incident to criticize Democrats for allegedly disregarding or misinterpreting U.S. founding principles.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>How little regard toward our Constitution and founding documents do Democrats have?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re at the point where a man billed as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/premiering-9-27-at-730pm-et-alan-dershowitz-unprincipled-partisanship-has-taken-over-america\/\" title=\"PREMIERING 9\/27 at 7:30PM ET: Alan Dershowitz: \u2018Unprincipled... ...isanship Has Taken Over America\">top constitutional lawyers<\/a> on the left side of the aisle doesn\u2019t seem to know about them to the same extent a 16-year-old does.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat who helped lead the second impeachment against Donald Trump, managed to go viral in the bad sense for his questioning of Marco Hunter-Lopez, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/texas-university-draws-line-professor-fired-admin-punished-pushing-woke-gender-ideology-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas student<\/a> testifying before a House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution and limited government.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter-Lopez was there for a hearing on Wednesday titled \u201cSharia-Free America: Why Political Islam &#038; Sharia Law are Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution: Part II.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you missed part one, don\u2019t worry: The sequel surpasses it, from what I\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter-Lopez is a 16-year-old student from the Dallas suburb of Wylie, Texas, who tried to found a Republican Student Club but was denied because his club was \u201cpolitical in nature.\u201d He eventually got it approved, but according to his written <a href=\"https:\/\/judiciary.house.gov\/sites\/evo-subsites\/republicans-judiciary.house.gov\/files\/evo-media-document\/hunter-lopez-testimony.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">testimony<\/a>, he and others \u201cfaced hostile scrutiny\u201d from administrators.<\/p>\n<p>However, he said that other groups did not face similar scrutiny. From his testimony:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>On February 2nd, I was leaving a meeting and was walking to the cafeteria for lunch and I saw a large booth labeled \u201cIslam\u201d set up during lunch. Four adult women from the organization \u201cWhy Islam\u201d were there. I was confused and did not want to give it attention, but after discussing it with my friends, we decided to approach the booth. I had a discussion with the women \u2014 one in particular who they kept referring me to because she knew most of the theological questions. As we tried to understand their goal, I looked over and saw multiple pamphlets spread out, one of which was explicitly titled \u201cUnderstanding Shariah.\u201d This was very concerning to me and other students. They were also making Qurans available that include a \u201cShahada Card\u201d on the last page instructing students how to convert: \u201cTo become a Muslim, one needs to make the following declaration: \u2018I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except God, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.\u2019\u201d <\/em><em>This occurred openly during lunch, with administrators present who did nothing to intervene.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cant-make-islamic-activist-behind-muslims-waterpark-day-also-runs-learing-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sharia law and Muslim separatism<\/a> in the Dallas-Forth Worth area have been major issues over the past few years, which is a problem when considering that many of these individuals think their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/backlash-erupts-city-owned-water-park-advertises-muslims-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beliefs are thoroughly incompatible<\/a> with American values.<\/p>\n<p>But, of course, Raskin saw no problem at all, trying to turn his questioning of a 16-year-old relaying his experiences in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cdc-director-schools-are-safe-places-for-kids-during-pandemic\/\" title=\"CDC Director: Schools Are Safe Places for Kids During Pandemic\">public schools<\/a> into a dazzling display of his knowledge of our founding documents, saying that \u201cthe Constitution of the United States does not establish a religion and forbids establishing a religion\u201d in the middle of one of Hunter-Lopez\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you aware that it doesn\u2019t mention God?\u201d Raskin, a member of the Congressional Freethought Caucus, continued.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter-Lopez then noted that the Declaration of Independence mentions it four times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs the Declaration of Independence law?\u201d Raskin responded.<\/p>\n<p>Well, this kind of depends on who you ask, considering that a document officially severing ties with the United Kingdom did effect a rather large change in governance, one might note, in these American colonies. But I digress, because that\u2019s not what we were here for.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin had intended this as a setup to say that \u201cThomas Jefferson was denounced as an infidel, who wrote the Declaration of Independence,\u201d and claiming that he and James Madison \u201cwere emphatic about separating church and state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica proclaimed the separation of church and state,\u201d Raskin said, \u201cwhat Thomas Jefferson described in his famous letter to the Danbury Baptists as a \u2018wall of separation.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ruh-roh! \u201cThat was a letter, not a law,\u201d Hunter-Lopez said.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right: The pretext of this argument \u2014 that the Declaration of Independence, being a very <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >specific public letter stating specific public things<\/a> that included the Creator and God-given rights \u2014 was based in large part on one of the great myths of the left, that there is a \u201cseparation of church and state\u201d baked into the Constitution. It\u2019s neither there nor in the Declaration of Independence, but instead in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loc.gov\/loc\/lcib\/9806\/danpre.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">private letter to the Danbury Baptists<\/a>, authored by one of the more secular founding fathers.<\/p>\n<p>And it was also written to reassure the Connecticut congregation that the wall was there for its protection, not the protection of the government from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-brings-cpac-crowd-feet-declaring-judeo-christian-values-vital-nation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Christian<\/a> values:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man &#038; his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, &#038; not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should \u201cmake no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-target-cable-providers-for-carrying-fox-newsmax-oann\/\" title=\"Democrats Target Cable Providers for Carrying Fox, Newsmax, OANN\">free exercise thereof<\/a>,\u201d thus building a wall of separation between Church &#038; State.
