Let us take a look how talmud study has rotted the brain of Rabbi Jason Miller.
>>> United States Representative Dave Camp is a proud Roman Catholic. The Republican congressman represents Michigan's 4th District in Congress which includes places in Michigan's "Up North" region that Jews only visit for a few days each year. Aside from the handful of families who live in Traverse City year round, Dave Camp likely doesn't give much thought to Jewish people.
Fallacy number one: DO THINGS MY WAY OR U IS ANTISEMITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>> If it weren't for Dave Camp's Orthodox Jewish staff member, he would likely never even know about the Jewish legal concepts of a Jewish bill of divorce ("get"), a recalcitrant husband ("mesorevet get") or a chained woman ("agunah"). But that is precisely what is occupying a lot of his time right now even though he would rather be focused on other matters.
Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI) is being urged to force an Orthodox Jewish staffer to grant his ex-wife a get Dave Camp's Wikipedia entry boasts his many legislative accomplishments in Congress including taking over from fellow Michigan representative Sander Levin as chair of the House Ways and Means Committee. The last few lines of his Wikipedia entry however make up an odd footnote for a Roman Catholic congressman from Northern Michigan: "Congressman Camp has been criticized for dismissing charges against a staffer of his, Aharon Friedman, as 'gossip.' Friedman had been formally charged with contempt of proceedings by the Rabbinical Council of America for refusing to give his wife, Tamar Epstein, a Jewish divorce."
Since when do roman catholics or U.S. Representatives take orders from batai dinim? Is Rabbi Jason Miller like, totally on drugs?
If it weren't for Dave Camp's Orthodox Jewish staff member, he would likely never even know about the Jewish legal concepts of a Jewish bill of divorce ("get"), a recalcitrant husband ("mesorevet get") or a chained woman ("agunah"). But that is precisely what is occupying a lot of his time right now even though he would rather be focused on other matters.
Fallacy number 3: CONTRADICTION ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What happened to Camp likely doesn't give much thought to Jewish people?
>>> I first wrote about this case in Jan. 2011, just one day before Dave Camp took over the House Ways and Means Committee from Sandy Levin. The story didn't get much attention then. However, a full scale social media attack has been waged recently to compel Rep. Dave Camp to force Aharon Friedman to give his ex-wife a get. This will be the first major agunah case in which social media plays a fundamental role.
Fallacy number 4: Trying to get a U.S. representative to violate the establisment clause.
>>> Friedman, a tax counsel for Camp who has worked for the Michigan Republican since 2007, must consent to the get in order for his ex-wife, Tamar Epstein, to remarry, have additional children or even for her to wear her hair uncovered as unmarried Orthodox Jewish women are permitted to do. Friedman's detractors charge that his behavior amounts to "domestic abuse."
Fallacy number 5: This isn't a fallacy of Jason Miller per say but of Epsetein's supporters in general. When there is no more marriage and you can even establish that abuse is happening, there is no more domestic. So calling it domestic abuse is playing games with the semantics to advance an agenda.
>>> The situation is awkward for Camp because it is rare that the personal lives of congressional staffers become political issues for members of Congress. But the influential committee chairman is being dragged into the highly unusual situation now that Friedman's opponents have decided to thrust it into the public sphere.
Fallacy number 6: HEY IDIOTS TRYING TO INFLUENCE A MAN'S EMPLOYMENT OR LACK THEREOF BECAUSE OF RELIGIOUS INFRACTIONS IS A LEGAL ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A WHOLE NOTHER BALL GAME THAN BEIN A POLITICAL ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>> Rep. Dave Camp can bar the public from posting on his Facebook page, but as Rick Santorum can attest there is no way to close off the Web from negative publicity. Dave Camp has to decide now if he wants future Google searches of his name to result in articles about his work in Congress or about his tax counsel's personal marital conflict. The choice is his.
Fallacy number 7: It's interesting to see orthodox jews try to take control of a roman catholic U.S. Representative.
