"Kosher Nostra" Laws Declared Unconstitutional by Ernesto Cienfuegos La Voz de Aztlan Los Angeles, Alta California - 5/22/2002 - (ACN) A Federal Appeals Court trashed New York State's kosher laws yesterday, on grounds that they violate the constitution by using the state to promote religion. The Court of Appeals formed by a three-judge panel found that New York state regulators wrongly adopted orthodox Judaism's definition of kosher, and thus giving Jewish businesses an unjustified and illegal advantage over markets that adhere to different standards. This is also a great victory for non-Jewish consumers who are presently paying a hidden Jewish Tax on many food and other kitchen products to Rabbinical Councils throughout the United States. Food companies are paying Rabbinical Councils millions of dollars per year to use Jewish kosher symbols on their labels. This cost is passed down to the non-Jewish consumer. The most common is the (U) symbol licensed by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of New York City. The (U) symbol now appears on kitchen products such as aluminum foil, brillo pads, plastic sandwich bags, Folgers instant coffee, Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water and a host of other products that have nothing to do with the Jewish Torah guidelines for pork and dairy products. This is truly a scam and a swindle on the American consumer. The federal appeals case first started when a Commack, N.Y. butcher sought relief from a violation he had received by challenging the constitutionality of the New York State kosher laws. His argument was that the laws were an unconstitutional violation of the Establishment Clause since they establish Orthodox kosher standards as the baseline for compliance. On July 28, 2000 an opinion and order of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York declared portions of New York Kosher Laws unconstitutional. The District Judge determined that certain sections of the Agriculture and Markets Law violate the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. After this opinion and declaration, Manjewrian Candidate Governor Pataki appealed to the Federal Appeals Court. Yesterday the Appeals Court affirmed the lower court's decision. This decision can now be extended to every state in the Union where the rabbis through corrupt politicians have passed these intolerable laws.
