Conservative litigators want this Supreme Court to expand a vision of religious liberty that abolishes the separation of church and state while granting Christians a freewheeling right to discriminate, often with public funding. They are seizing upon any case that will give the court this opportunity, with little concern for the truth of the underlying claims. And the Republican-appointed justices seem eager to twist reality into whatever shape necessary to give them what they want.

That's pretty damn scary what they are trying to do.

A reminder that ADF, the group that creates these lawsuits with fake clients, is funded almost exclusively by Leonard Leo, the head of the Federalist Society, and the man who Trump used to pick all judges, including the three supreme court picks.

Almost every single conservative judge is a member of the Federalist Society.

I do solemnly swear that if separation of Church and State is abolished I will begin abolishing everything in my sight.

I'm so sick of watching these fucks flirt around with fascism and theocracy. Its getting worse by the minute, they are brazen.

So, his lawyers filed a response with the court that he would resume coaching within 24 hours of reinstatement. Isn't there any punishment to someone for lying to a court?

It's almost like Republicans have literally nothing better to do than to wage culture wars because they're morally and professionally bankrupt.

All it will take is one more Republican presidency to get the separation of church and state to be knocked down.

There will be some out there who think I'm crazy for saying it, and they will claim it will never happen. Yeah... ok. We all thought RvW was secure as well. It doesn't even have to be Trump. ALL Republicans are radicalized extremists. That entire party is corrupt to it's core and it will shove religion down our throats if they regain the White House and keep their power in Congress.

What infuriates me even more than all this, is the thought that there would be protests out in the streets the day AFTER Republicans win the White House by people who couldn't be bothered to vote the day earlier. They were too busy or it would be too much trouble to go vote on Tuesday November 5th, but they sure seem to find time to go protest and loot the local electronics store on Wednesday November 6th.

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." - Matt 6:5-8

The Supreme Court doesn't rule on the theological validity of what he's doing--nor should they--but his supporters ought to take note that the Bible explicitly says not to do this shit.

Dissolve the court. Arrest Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas and Kavanaugh. They take money from people who have business before the court and they make their rulings based on obviously disprovable lies.

Fuck this fuck
