Updates
The Courts
The previous Ami Magazine article about
Julie Goffstein’s case, “Baby Boys, Come
Home,” was well received, but many readers
were left with the impression that there
must be more to the story. Its just not
possible for the courts to be so unfair to a
mother and her children.
Indeed, this is a perfectly reasonable
response. We live in the United States of
America, with religious liberty, due process,
the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and
the rest of the amendments. The framers
took great care to make sure this kind of
injustice doesn’t occur, so there must be
something more.
If your only experience with America’s
court system was through your social
studies and history classes in school, that
might be a reasonable assumption. I have
