Last time I checked, The Bill Of Rights doesn't exclude those who are in a position of authority.

He’s a public school employee
He’s leading a team prayer at midfield after a game

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

he’s not leading a team prayer. he prayed alone, and some
kids joined him.

Separation of church and state does t mean no religion in public view. It means the government can’t pick which religions are legitimate and which aren’t.

The government can’t interfere with your free exercise if your religion. Even if Pete hates it.

This was a complete no brainer.

They weren’t interfering . they said not on school grounds and not as of head coach of a public school. So no separation of church and state no longer exist

Another religious ruling masked as constitutional. So much for past rulings

Let have a 1000 people pray on Jim’s front lawn . And see if he still supports this ruling


Gorsuch said lower courts should no longer follow the “Lemon test” criticized by religious conservatives

No kidding

the government cannot forbid you to exercise your religion on public property where you have a right to be.

have you ever bothered to read the Bill Of Rights?

The court was liberal from
the days of Earl Warren. that’s over. it’s our turn. the SCOTUS pendulum will swing back to the left eventually.

“have 1000 people
pray in jim’s front lawn…”.

My front lawn isn’t my workplace, nor is it public property. Good lord that’s a stupid argument.

tolerance is better then censorship.

Jim stop the bill of rights nonsense you and the rest of the the conservatives religious have no interest in the Bill of rights unless you it fits your religious views

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) on Sunday said she will ban telemedicine appointments with abortion care providers who prescribe pills online



it also says hall be so regulated by Congress, that there shall be not less than one hundred Representatives, nor less than one Representative for every forty thousand persons, until the number of Representatives shall amount to two hundred; after which the proportion shall be so regulated by Congress, that there shall not be less than two hundred Representatives, nor more than one Representative for every fifty thousand persons.

seems they didn't expect a nation of 300 million

Article the third... Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

1 that never happened to this guy! but for the GOP the press is the enemy of the state! outrage of peacefully people peaceably to assemble if front of SJC homes with more twisted logic of intimidation freedom for me and not thee

Article the fourth... A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

still waiting to read the words conceal and carry more twisted legalmobojombo

Article the sixth... The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.


Red states passing law for fellow citizens to report and sue anyone they think got an abortion

yep Jim keep thinking the GOP cares about the constitution

Just those 2 statements make my point

1st you see the court as a tool of retribution


2nd Freedom is only for whom you align with .

can't wait to see the outrage over a highschool drag queen prayer vigil after the game ... I bet the right won't mention freedom of speech and religious freedom .. but I am sure other words will be used..

i didn’t say retribution. said the court was liberal
for decades,,now it’s conservative.

you people
need to grasp that democracy isnt defines as you getting what you want every single
time.

the court was liberal for 50 years. then the people elected a conservative senate and a republican president, who did exactly what he said he’d do.

elections have consequences

only you’d see that as “retribution”.

if 1000 people
prayed in the street it would block traffic. this coach wasnt doing that.

man, for people who demand tolerance, liberals are t too keen on showing it.

you can have your gay pride parades in public, he can pray in public. tough cookies if you don’t like it.
