In his letter of 9/21 Mr. Cordora lets his prejudices and ignorance of our constitution run rampant.

There is no reference to God in the constitution. Our founding Fathers went to great lengths to make it so.

Muhammad Ali was not deferred. He was arrested and stripped of his title. He was free pending his appeals. The Supreme Court overturned his conviction about four years later.

Kim Davis, on the other hand, was jailed for disobeying a judicial order albeit on religious grounds. All marriages in this and most other countries are civil affairs. She had to know that when she ran for office.

The judge gave her an out but she refused it. She paid the price.

With his condemnation of Mr. Ali, a black Muslim, and his reference to “liberal three dollar bills” Mr. Cordora sweeps all his sick prejudices into one negative letter of indictment. I wish I had a dollar for every bigot who hid behind the bible to salve their consciences.
