    Supreme Court replaces Constitution with Bible as Judicial Foundation

    That's not the reasoning stated in the written opinion. But yes that may be the motivation that was taking place inside the minds of some or all of those Justices who voted to overturn RvW.

    Supreme Court replaces Constitution with Bible as Judicial Foundation

    Their religions are irrelevant. If this is something that reaches the Supreme Court it won't succeed unless the composition of the Court has changed a lot by the time the case is heard.

    Supreme Court replaces Constitution with Bible as Judicial Foundation

    No, it's not "ideology". It's speculation. We've been on a speculation tangent ever since your post # 53 - where you speculated that SCOTUS would rule differently if the coach were Muslim. I speculated just the opposite - that SCOTUS would still have ruled in the coach's favor if he were a...

    That's a false dichotomy. (Unless math math contradicts the law)

    Supreme Court replaces Constitution with Bible as Judicial Foundation

    I was going by the math Five of the nine Justices who voted unanimously in Holt (that Muslims were entitled to religious exemptions from certain rules in prison) are still on the Court. So even if all 4 of the newer Justices voted the other way, the decision would still be the same today...

    Supreme Court replaces Constitution with Bible as Judicial Foundation

    I didn't say it was the same Court. But what rulings has the Court made since then that would lead you to believe that today's Court no longer supports Muslim religious freedom the way it supported it in 2015?

    You can call it whatever you want. But if you think there is a problem with what the Supreme Court actually ruled, then please state explicitly what this problem is. Here once again is where you can read the entire ruling: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21-418_i425.pdf Actually...

    Supreme Court replaces Constitution with Bible as Judicial Foundation

    Thank you for acknowledging the absence of proof. I cannot prove what would happen either. But here is the actual SCOTUS opinion https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21-418_i425.pdf And I see nothing in that document that would apply to a Christian coach but not a Muslim coach. And I...

    Is Catholicism part of/is Christianity?

    It depends on the definition of Christian. Catholicism teaches that Jesus is God, and that salvation is through Him. So by a simple definition they are Christians. But Catholicism also teaches some things that many Protestants think are non-biblical (and non-Christian) - the infallibility of...

    Supreme Court replaces Constitution with Bible as Judicial Foundation

    He prayed apart from his team at the final three games. That's what the school district suspended him for - praying publicly after the game. Even though he did not pray with his team at those final 3 games, the school district suspended him for praying publicly while on an authorized break...

    Supreme Court replaces Constitution with Bible as Judicial Foundation

    I read the actual SCOTUS documentation including the syllabus, the opinion, and the dissenting opinion. You should read it as well. Here's a link. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21-418_i425.pdf Please go through the actual opinion in the link above and see if you can find anything...

    Supreme Court replaces Constitution with Bible as Judicial Foundation

    The Muslim coach would have the same right to pray as the coach in this story. The SCOTUS decision does not give either coach the right to lead their team in prayer. But it gives both coaches the right to pray in public apart from their team.

    Praying on the 50

    He wasn't suspended for praying with his team. Maybe the school district should have suspended him for that. But they didn't. They simply told him to stop praying with his team. And he complied. But he kept praying without his team even though they told him to not do that either. And...

    Praying on the 50

    On page 17 of the SCOTUS Opinion for example: "The timing and circumstances of Mr. Kennedy’s prayers confirm the point. During the postgame period when these prayers occurred, coaches were free to attend briefly to personal matters—everything from checking sports scores on their phones to...

    Praying on the 50

    This was a harmless and very narrow ruling. All the ruling says is that a public employee can pray while they are on a break and they need not go somewhere private to do so. What's the big deal? The fear mongers have been trying to slippery-slope this tp death.
