Did lardass (candycorn) ever show up to address the OP ?
They never do.
It is my fondest wish for a higher caliber of opposition, one that can defend and/or explain the Leftist positions. Best example is that I have asked Hussein supporters numerous times to answer this:
What benefit did America, or the world, accrue by Obama's guaranteeing nuclear weapons to the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism?
Or this one...
Under Democrat/Liberal LBJ, the law was passed that deprived pastors of their right of free speech.
What possible compelling government interest could this represent????
If they actually tried to defend their vote, I bet they'd stop voting Democrat.
"My Administration is also defending religious liberty, and that includes the Constitutional right to pray in public schools. In America, we do not punish prayer. We do not tear down crosses. We do not ban symbols of faith. We do not muzzle preachers and pastors. In America, we celebrate faith. We cherish religion. We lift our voices in prayer, and we raise our sights to the Glory of God!"
Trump, SOTU 2020
This will be interesting.
I applaud this effort as long as it is approached properly.
Bush really killed the discussion on Social Security by making an off-hand comment and letting the left get out in front. He has made it more difficult for us to to anything there.
Don't want the same here.
Of course, the problem is the Supreme Court, and the KKKer that Franklin Roosevelt made his first nominee on the court.
There is no 'separation of church and state' in the Constitution....
If Trump continues to be successful in changing the judiciary, we will become America again.
1."By the numbers overall (including Phipps), Trump has nominated and had confirmed:
Supreme Court: 2
Courts of Appeals: 43
District/Specialty Courts: 85
Trump is running out of Court of Appeals vacancies to fill, in part a result of his focus on filling those critical slots:
Current and known future vacancies: 141
Courts of Appeals: 6
District/Specialty Courts*: 135
Pending nominees for current and known future vacancies: 58
Courts of Appeals: 2
District/Specialty Courts*: 56"
Liberal nightmare: Takeover of federal judiciary by "larval Scalias is devastatingly close to completion"
2.“…the advent of Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh has reshaped the Supreme Court enough to stop such despondent talk. While the decisions announced at the end of the Court’s term in June, marking the first year with both new justices on the bench, don’t amount to a stampede toward the Right, they display a wholesome focus on what the Constitution and statutes actually say.
The Nine are “redirecting the judge’s interpretive task back to its roots, away from open-ended policy appeals and speculation about legislative intentions and toward the traditional tools of interpretation that judges have employed for centuries to elucidate the law’s original public meaning,” Gorsuch explained in a June opinion. “Today, it is even said that we judges are, to one degree or another, ‘all textualists now.’ ” And that’s already a quiet revolution.” The Court Moves Right
I agree.
Clarence Thomas once commented on this in some dicta assoicated with a case.
My deal is how the right handles it.
People like Sam Brownback have a "Christian Entitlement" complex that really pisses me off because they are not behaving like true Christians.
I want prayer back in schools. And I want muslims to be able to pray too.
I want to pledge back in schools and muslims had better be there saying it too.
Religion is the repository of our morals and we need more of it...doing the right things......
I'll go most of the way with you....but I want every individual to have the right to pray or not, pledge or not.
Punishments should be reserved for actions, not beliefs.
