Enjoy This Catchy Jingle On Judicial Power, Starring Bjork

One of the more bizarre things that we’ve ever come across in our daily monitoring is this video, posted yesterday on Dave Daubenmire’s News with Views YouTube page, featuring a song called “Courts Cannot Make Law” written by Christian Reconstructionist and Maryland Republican politician Michael Peroutka superimposed on a scene from Lars von Trier’s 2000 film “ Dancer in the Dark,” staring Bjork.

Peroutka, who has said that Kentucky clerk Kim Davis gave “the entire country a civics lesson” when she defied federal court orders to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples because “any purported law that is not harmonious with [God’s] word can’t be law and is not law,” includes lyrics such as:

There’s a battle going on, a war for your soul

It’s a devil’s deal, it’s mind control

They want you to believe that you have no hope

They’re counting on the fact that you are a dope

And:

You won’t learn the truth in government schools

It’s up to you to know the rules
