Jerusalem is a Trending Hashtag on Twitter Today

Many of my readers may not know what a hashtag (#) is when used on Twitter.  In fact many of my readers may not know what Twitter is.

Anyway, I'm not going to explain it to those who don't....but to those who do, I will call your attention to the fact that #Jerusalem is a trending today because the Supreme Court of the U.S. just ruled on what passports must say for American citizens who were born in Jerusalem.

The Supreme Court struck down a disputed law Monday that would have allowed Americans born in Jerusalem to list their birthplace as Israel on their U.S. passports in an important ruling that underscores the president's authority in foreign affairs.

The court ruled 6-3 that Congress overstepped its bounds when it approved the law in 2002. It would have forced the State Department to alter its long-standing policy of not listing Israel as the birthplace for Jerusalem-born Americans and listing only "Jerusalem." 

The policy is part of the government's refusal to recognize any nation's sovereignty over Jerusalem, until Israelis and Palestinians resolve its status through negotiations.

Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinion that the president has the exclusive power to recognize foreign nations, and that the power to determine what a passport says is part of this power.

"Recognition is a matter on which the nation must speak with one voice. That voice is the president's," Kennedy wrote.

The ruling ends a 12-year-old lawsuit by a Jerusalem-born American, Menachem Zivotofsky, and his U.S. citizen parents.

So now the Supreme Court has inserted itself into the discussion on WHO OWNS Jerusalem...and it would appear that they set themselves on the WRONG SIDE....because they have gone against God.
