The Supreme Court of the United States has refused to hear an appeal of a conviction of Christian businessmen Philip Zodhiates, who is currently serving a sentence in a federal prison for helping a Christian woman and her child escape court-enforced visits with an unrelated lesbian “mother” imposed on the child by a Vermont court.
The Court dismissed the appeal filed by Zodhiates’ private attorney, as well as three “friend of the court” (amicus curiae) briefs filed in support of Zodhiates appeal by several organizations and coalitions of groups concerned about the implications of the case for the rights of natural parents, as well as the dangers implied for constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure by government authorities.
Zodhiates was convicted in 2016 of the crime of “international parental kidnapping” for driving Lisa Miller and her daughter Isabella to the Canadian border in 2009, where she allegedly crossed into Canada and took a flight to Nicaragua. Click here to continue reading.

“may be a taste”
It not only “may” be a taste, it “will” be a taste. That the US Supreme Court would not hear this case is a complete travesty and is indicative of where the USSC is headed. It is no more conservative now than it was in previous generations. Christians, indeed, all of Christianity cannot trust the black robes judges to stand up for Christian values.
Very soon, this same fate could be faced by parents who dare to provide professional counseling for their minor children to combat unwanted same-sex attractions.
This arrest of a God-fearing couple and incarceration may be a taste of what all conservative believers may face in the near future. Let us pray for the release and exoneration of this couple. Maybe our President will help them. So shocking and sad.
Although the court is obviously wrong; sadly, the rest of the story (the link) also does not make for sound, normal reading. There are consequences to actions, always.
