Our founding fathers used the Bible to write The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America, henceforth our laws are strictly based upon the Bible as the ultimate source of wisdom and truth in America Today.

Case laws or common law are laws established by legal precedent by the judges throughout our land. Certain judges have more influence than others. For example a local superior court judge can have his or her opinion over ruled by a local supreme court justice.

The supreme court justice has the responsibility of sticking to the facts of the case. If legal jurisprudence has been violated on a lower level, a court's decision can be made null and void. But even common law, especially in the past had a Biblical influence.

There are several political actions groups that want to change and rewrite the constitution of the United States either by amendment, or case law or presidential edict. Frequently, the proposed amendment is merely to further the agenda of political action groups, rather than acting in the best interest of the American people.

When candidates use the Koran to swear to uphold the Constitution of the United States, they forget our laws were not based on the Koran. They claim, that they will uphold the laws of the land, but they don't worship the God of the Bible! One candidate used the Korean that belonged to Thomas Jefferson! Using the Bible to take his oath of office would have violated his religious principles! The people who elected him to public office felt that he was the most qualified candidate for the job.

There are several Muslims who will be seeking office, in order to protect the rights of their people. It is a fact that innocent Muslims are being persecuted by the government because of their religious extremists groups. When office leaders in their former nations, take office do they use the Bible or the Koran? The Koran, of course! Office holders would not be able to use the Bible to take their oath of office!

There's an old fashioned saying, "When in Roman, do as the Romans do," in short obey the laws of the land. Several Western nations such as England have a Bible based background. The Nobles during the reign of one of their tyrant rulers, stepped on too many toes, hence the doctrine of the Magma Carte came into existence centuries before the United States of America even existed on the world maps as a nation.

Part two of my article involves using the Bible, "to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God!" The correct response is I do! When Mickey Rooney was about 70 years old, he had to take the witness stand. "I had nothing to do with God my entire life, and I want nothing to do with Him now!" I firmly believe that God will honor his request by having nothing to do with him!"

The Bible consists of the ultimate truth which is why witnesses are asked to swear by it, and promise not to commit perjury or bare false witness against their neighbor! The witnesses and the defendant are being asked to tell the truth, not believe in God. They are admitting, however, that God will adamantly judge them for false testimony! If the legal system is forbidden to use the Bible as the complete word of truth, what would atheists and agnostics substitute it with?
