Podcast appearances and mentions of virginia statute

When the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation took possession of Monticello in the 1920s, it didn't just have a house to restore, it had a reputation to restore: Jefferson's. In his own lifetime, Jefferson was a controversial partisan figure, beloved by many as the author of the Declaration of Independence and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, and reviled by others for his political views. Following the Civil War, Jefferson's esteem in the public eye had plummeted because of his views on race and states' rights. By the turn of the 20th century, he was, as one admirer called him, the "forgotten man." In this episode of Sharing History, we explore how the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation and a coalition of civic groups, politicians, and ordinary citizens came together to restore and reinvent Jefferson's image and remind Americans of his essential contributions. The revival of Jefferson's reputation required a deliberate campaign in the media, history books, public schools and politics. We'll look at key moments in the rehabilitation of Jefferson's reputation that stressed the timeless relevance of Jefferson's ideals and positive legacies. Hosted by Frank Cogliano, Acting Saunders Director of the Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies, Stephen Light, Interim Vice President for Guest Experiences at Monticello, and Monticello Digital Guide David Thorson.

We talk about inconsistencies in AH testimony and what I think she'll be attacked with on cross examination. Also we love Kate Moss and I'll tell you why.  We get into the statements made my spokespersons from team Depp & team Heard. We're talking about the opinions & thoughts of real abuse survivors on AHs testimony. & I'll say it again - survivors are the real experts and their opinions hold a ton of weight for me and they should for anyone listening. So come hangout and get yourself up to date before the defamation trial of Depp v Heard resumes on Monday May 16 2022 with the cross examination of Amber Heard. If you're enjoying the show & can spare a minute I would love to hear your reviews & if you have any questions don't you dare hesitate to reach out to me - I am so happy to explain these complicated issues.Contact:Twitter: @LDBlondepodInstagram: @legallydirtyblondepodEmail: Legallydirtyblondepod@gmail.com Important LinksIncredibly Average Brian's video of uncensored Australia audio after the finger incident we can hear that AH says she “didnt mean to” hurt JD's finger & we hear Dr. Kipper and Nurse Debbie discussing the incident and its very clear AH did not the sustain the injuries she alleged https://youtu.be/VDP9NVQmiXwJudge Azcarate's Opinion Letter denying AH's pretrial motion to dismiss - this is well written and explains the legal reasons for denying her motion based on the UK ruling in more detail than I went into.  Worth the read! https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/depp-heard-trial-decison-.pdfThis is a link to the Virginia Statute regarding IMEs (independent medical examinations) https://casetext.com/rule/virginia-court-rules/virginia-rules-of-supreme-court/part-four-pretrial-procedures-dispositions-and-production-at-trial/rule-410-physical-and-mental-examination-of-personsThis is a link if you would like to read the judgment from the Judge in the UK trial https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/QB/2020/2911.htmlSupport the show

Amanda and Holly take a look at what's facing the Court, including recent oral arguments in the Christian flag case that deserve our attention and a new case about a coach's prayer practice on the football field. They talk about decisions we're waiting for, cases the Court might still take, and cases the Court declined to hear. In segment three, Amanda and Holly discuss the recent hostage crisis at a Jewish synagogue in Texas that happened the day before Religious Freedom Day, highlighting the chasm between the promise and reality of religious freedom today.    SHOW NOTES: Segment one: Changes coming to the Court and a review of the Shurtleff v.

On Religious Freedom Day 2022, Amanda Tweeted this: Today as we observe Religious Freedom Day, we are mindful of the ongoing threats to houses of worship across this country. We should be free to worship in synagogues, mosques, temples, meeting houses and churches without fear of violence and attack.I'm holding the people of Congregation Beth Israel in my heart as they heal from yesterday's attack, with a grateful heart that the hostages are safe. In solidarity with Jewish communities who live with these ongoing threats. We won't rest until there is faith freedom for all. BJC Board Member Sofi Hersher Tweeted this after news broke about hostages taken at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, on January 15, 2022: Resist anyone and anything that seeks to position the hostage situation at Congregation Beth Israel as Jews vs. Muslims.  That kind of reductionist thinking is lazy, untrue, and helps no one. Here's the NPR interview with Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, from the congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas: Texas Rabbi who was held hostage says we can't live in fear Respecting Religion is made possible by BJC's generous donors.

Establishment of religion. The precise meaning of the Establishment Clause can be traced back to the beginning of the 19th century. Thomas Jefferson wrote about the First Amendment and its restriction on Congress in an 1802 reply to the Danbury Baptists, a religious minority that was concerned about the dominant position of the Congregational church in Connecticut, who had written to the newly elected president about their concerns. Jefferson wrote back: Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof", thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties. In Reynolds v United States (1878) the Supreme Court used these words to declare that "it may be accepted almost as an authoritative declaration of the scope and effect of the amendment thus secured. Congress was deprived of all legislative power over mere opinion, but was left free to reach actions which were in violation of social duties or subversive of good order." Quoting from Jefferson's Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom the court stated further in Reynolds: In the preamble of this act ... religious freedom is defined; and after a recital 'that to suffer the civil magistrate to intrude his powers into the field of opinion, and to restrain the profession or propagation of principles on supposition of their ill tendency, is a dangerous fallacy which at once destroys all religious liberty,' it is declared 'that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order.' In these two sentences is found the true distinction between what properly belongs to the church and what to the State. A April 22, 1885, cartoon from the Puck magazine depicting an army of clergymen assaulting a fortress defended by newspaper editors including from Puck, while atop a hill in the background a statue labeled "Constitution" that states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" can be seen. Reynolds was the first Supreme Court decision to use the metaphor "a wall of separation between Church and State." American historian George Bancroft was consulted by Chief Justice Morrison Waite in Reynolds regarding the views on establishment by the Founding Fathers. Bancroft advised Waite to consult Jefferson and Waite then discovered the above quoted letter in a library after skimming through the index to Jefferson's collected works according to historian Don Drakeman. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Celebrate Religious Freedom Day on January 16, 2021 Show Guest: Eric Buehrer Each year, the President declares January 16th to be “Religious Freedom Day,” and calls upon Americans to “observe this day through appropriate events and activities in homes, schools, and places of worship.” It is the anniversary of the passage, in 1786, of the Virginia Statute on Religious Freedom drafter by Thomas Jefferson drafted and considered it one of his greatest achievements. It protects the civil rights of people to express their religious beliefs without suffering discrimination. The U.S. Department of Education has issued guidelines explaining students’ religious liberties. The main message students need to hear is that they shouldn't feel like they have to be “undercover” about their religion – that somehow, they have to keep quiet about their family's beliefs.

We celebrate the anniversary of the January 16, 1786, adoption of Jefferson’s Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom and the January 17, 1706 birthday of Benjamin Franklin, who opposed public funding for education. FFRF attorneys Patrick Elliott and Sam Grover describe the questions we submitted for the confirmation hearings of Jeff Sessions for Attorney General and Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education, both of whom have shown a disrespect for state/church separation. Then we talk with professor of philosophy and prolific author A. C. Grayling (founder and Master of New College of the Humanities in London) about his book, The Challenge of Things: Thinking Through Troubled Times.

George Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, RI is perhaps the best expression of the spirit of religious liberty that shaped the new American republic.  August of 2015 is the 225th anniversary of its composition, and our webinar on 22 AUG was in celebration of this important moment in American history. In addition to Washington’s letter, scholars and teachers discussed Madison’s “Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments” and the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom.  All three documents may be found in 50 Core American Documents: Required Reading for Students, Teachers and Citizens.

On July 24 at noon, Thomas E. Buckley delivered a Banner Lecture entitled "Establishing Religious Freedom: Jefferson's Statute in Virginia." The significance of the Virginia Statute for Establishing Religious Freedom goes far beyond the borders of the Old Dominion. Its influence ultimately extended to the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the separation of church and state. In his latest book, Thomas Buckley tells the story of the statute, beginning with its background in the struggles of colonial dissenters against an oppressive Church of England. Displacing an established church by instituting religious freedom, the Virginia statute provided the most substantial guarantees of religious liberty of any state in the new nation. The effort to implement Jefferson’s statute has even broader significance in its anticipation of the conflict that would occupy the whole country after the Supreme Court nationalized the religion clause of the First Amendment in the 1940s. Thomas E. Buckley, professor in residence in the department of history of Loyola Marymount University, is the author of several books on Virginia’s religious history, including Church and State in Revolutionary Virginia, 1776–1787 and Establishing Religious Freedom: Jefferson's Statute in Virginia.
