U.S. Supreme Court takes aim at separation of church and state

The conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court has chipped away at the wall separating church and state in a series of new rulings, eroding American legal traditions intended to prevent government officials from promoting any particular faith.

WASHINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - The conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court has chipped away at the wall separating church and state in a series of new rulings, eroding American legal traditions intended to prevent government officials from promoting any particular faith.

In three decisions in the past eight weeks, the court has ruled against government officials whose policies and actions were taken to avoid violating the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment prohibition on governmental endorsement of religion - known as the "establishment clause."
The court on Monday backed a Washington state public high school football coach who was suspended by a local school district for refusing to stop leading Christian prayers with players on the field after games. read more
On June 21, it endorsed taxpayer money paying for students to attend religious schools under a Maine tuition assistance program in rural areas lacking nearby public high schools. read more
On May 2, it ruled in favor of a Christian group that sought to fly a flag emblazoned with a cross at Boston city hall under a program aimed at promoting diversity and tolerance among the city's different communities. read more

• Is seperation of church and state a real thing? YES, it is, the Establishment Clause and a famous statement from Thomas Jefferson that the Establishment Clause is the wall between Church and State.
• But then there are certain Christians who think that freedom of religion means freedom to shove your religion down other people’s throats. When it actually means freedom to practise your religion, not shoving it down other people’s throats, and for the other half, freedom from religion.

Been burned already. I mean, thanks for typing that out, but I have zero faith in this SCOTUS. If they get the right cases they will continue to chip away at individual rights. It’s what they were put there to do. Even if they find correctly in a case, what’s the mechanism to deal with a rogue administration that just refuses to obey the ruling?

Well, this is not …. swell? Seems he has a conflict with his oath of office?

Deevers is bad news, he would end America tomorrow if he could. He openly advocates for “Christians” to destroy the Constitution and take over America.

And yes, that violates his oath of office that he swore to God.

They think that no matter what they do, God is on their side - because that's how they have chosen to interpret it. Because everything they do is God's will and carrying out God's work, they're infallible . . . the Taliban and other religious extremists think the same thing.

But there simply is no way to reconcile the U.S. Constitution with what Deevers advocates, or Project 2025 for that matter. They're literally advocating for the destruction of the American constitutional system.

 

[MT15]

They think it’s God’s will that America is replaced with a theocracy. They will break any law that they need to, because only God’s will matters. It’s frightening.

My question is, who is this "god" that you speak of.....

Couldn't agree more, this is why I don't believe in organized religion.....it's simply too easy to corrupt and cult create......these types believe there is no separation between church and state....but only "their church".....fake Christian wackjobs.....

 

[MT15]

I hadn’t seen this little saying before. It should be preached from every pulpit.

what a forking travesty

Proposed Texas GOP platform calls for the Bible in schools, electoral changes that would lock Democrats out of statewide office

The platform was voted on Saturday, with tallies expected next week. Other planks call abortion homicide and gender-transition care “child abuse.”

www.texastribune.org

Republican Party of Texas delegates voted Saturday on a platform that called for new laws to require the Bible to be taught in public schools and a constitutional amendment that would require statewide elected leaders to win the popular vote in a majority of Texas counties.

Other proposed planks of the 50-page platform included proclamations that “abortion is not healthcare it is homicide”; that gender-transition treatment for children is “child abuse”; calls to reverse recent name changes to military bases and “publicly honor the southern heroes”; support for declaring gold and silver as legal tender; and demands that the U.S. government disclose “all pertinent information and knowledge” of UFOs.

In 2022, it called for a referendum on Texas secession; resistance to the “Great Reset,” a conspiracy theory that claims global elites are using environmental and social policies to enslave the world’s population; proclamations that homosexuality is an “abnormal lifestyle choice”; and a declaration that President Joe Biden was not legitimately elected.

We’ve heard of gerrymandered districts, now Texas brings us gerrymandered counties to destroy the idea of 1 person , 1 vote for statewide elected positions. We are faced with a group of bastages who will go as far as they can to hold power. And if it passes and if it goes to Trump’s SCOTUS, I still wonder if this idea will be shot down.

Oops. Scripture says governments are established by God. Thus actions against government are actions against good.

As noted, you can use scripture to justify anything you wish.

So an elected official in a secular country pushes his self serving God’s Will BS to pander to the Koolaid drinkers who elected him. Wonderfully ironic, NOT.

Sadly, irony is lost on them.

When we look at approximately half of Congress, we observe approximately half of the elected members actively undermining the Constitution, and Civil Rights, pushing us towards a fascist no-holds barred power grab. We have a no shirt serious problem.
