Another “L” in the Left’s Column

Supreme Court upholds Christian coach’s right to pray at games:

The Supreme Court on Monday issued a ruling upholding the First Amendment right of free speech with regard to prayer. The Court ruled in favor of a high school football coach who was told he was not to pray on the field post-game in the case of Kennedy v. Bremerton School District.

The 6-3 ruling determined that the school district in 2015 violated the coach’s rights to free speech when they prohibited him from praying on the field, and that coach subsequently lost his job over the matter. The majority opinion was written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was joined by Chief Justice Roberts, along with Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Amy Coney Barrett. Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the opinion, except as regards one section.

  1. Trump gets it done.

    Love him or hate him, he said what he would do, and he did it.
    Any other republican would have cucked and nominated at least one progressive to the court. “Just to be fair”

    1. This is was what I came here to say. This is all Trump. We may despair that the 2020 election was stolen, that the left is on the march and seemingly winning on most fronts – but it’s almost as if Donny Two Scoops is back in office right now with these various SCOTUS HUUUUUUGE decisions. Rejoice!

      …..major credit to Clarence Thomas too. One of the greatest Americans of all time and a person I admire and respect more and more with each passing day.

      1. ” We may despair that the 2020 election was stolen”

        You needn’t despair because it wasn’t. You should despair because it’s over for the US political right. It was dying before Trump, and now that the GOP dog has caught the Roe car, it’s about to be run over by it. It will be bloody.

  2. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”

    Isn’t that just a little fricking obvious. Kind of like “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” All the Supreme Court has done is rediscover the English language. Add to that the stupidity that the right to abortion was based on privacy rights.

    1. And who decided that HS kids are too fragile to be exposed to a Christian prayer … but can be taught that white skin bad and biological sex can be reversed? Sickos in charge of our public schools. Even WITH this ruling … get your kids OUT of public school

        1. Ahem! That should be “Amen and awomen”! (“What about all the other genders?” “Shaddup!”)

          1. I remember when that got airplay on the radio. I was finishing my first master’s degree at the time and one of my fellow grad students was an Aussie. He told us about Joe Dolce and how popular he was in his country.

    2. Exactly.

      It is not the job of the Court even to “interpret” the Constitution. It is their job to remind the lawyers’ cabalist pleading the case of some piece of human filth what the Constitution says, and that if he has a problem with that, he should do the hard work of winning the people’s consent to a
      amend the Constitution to his liking.

      The American people never consented to recognizing a right of a whore to kill her child, or of a pervert to rape one. And they never will.

      1. “The American people never consented to recognizing a right of a whore to kill her child”

        They don’t need to. That’s not how rights work.

  3. This case was ridiculous. It should never have existed. But, some control freak idiot fired the guy forcing his hand. At the same time, I don’t see the point of this guy going to the center of the field to pray after the game. That seems a bit like theatrics to me. He could do the same thing in his car on the way home.

    The proper response from someone who doesn’t approve is an eye roll…and move on.

    1. Now consider that this case had to go through the 9th circuit, and that court ruled AGAINST the coach!!!

      Only goes to show how many activist judges there are who are willing to toss the constitution out the window if it meant advancing the agenda.

    2. Orson
      Yup, as an atheist I agree, the guy is an idiot, but has the constitutional right to be an idiot. Don’t support him, and you and I may be next to get silenced!

    3. Agreed. And Roe v Wade would still be Federal Law … but the creepy leftists had to push all the way to birthing abortion. Strangle the child upon full term birth … just to erase any doubt that a woman (and her Doctor) can kill a child at ANY moment during pregnancy. Just because. If a woman can choose to do THAT!? … she can “choose” to drown her three children in a bathtub. Good Gawd!!

      The leftist loons FORCED a lawsuit to push back against their flat out INSANITY!!!

      The EXTREMIST Left have forced a series of losses with their creepy behavior.

    4. Exactly, Orson.
      1) not exactly in the spirit (no pun intended) of sportsman like behavior either. The players line up, shake hands and go to their dressing rooms. That’s it.
      2) So what? God is now picking sides in a HS sporting event? If it’s a Catholic HS playing against a public school, and the public school wins, what do we take away from that result? It’s this kind of antic that brings religion into disrepute.
      3) What if the winning team is predominantly non-Christian…

  4. Next topic for SCOTUS: aren’t Dems/Liberals the most ridiculous bunch of loud-mouth imbeciles ever existed? And they should never-ever be anyway near leadership positions?

  5. Another reason to be thankful we live in Canada and not the USA. Religion is an independent and personal decision and under no circumstances should be brought into a public school. Want prayer, attend a religious school. Period!
    Further, we have free access to abortion for any female over the age of 16, which is more or less settled law in that the Supreme Court interpreted the self determination clause of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to mean that a woman has the right to chose. Hallelujah!! Another reason Canada is superior to the USA.
    Finally, no person needs an AR-15 to go hunting. My Browning .308BLR works fine. Thank goodness for our gun laws.

    1. “My Browning .308BLR works fine.”

      First they came for the “assault” rifles ….

      1. “First they came for the “assault” rifles ….”

        “Assault STYLE rifles” – get it right!!! { – /sarc, if it need be said… 😉

        1. You mean semi auto rifles with black plastic stocks. That black plastic makes them particularly dangerous. Not to mention that a .223 can take down an elephant at 600 yards. Or is that 800 yards?

      1. Maybe Tom was being sarcastic… but then again, we shouldn’t underestimate the power of liberals to be that obtuse.

    2. Hold that thought, Tom; they’re working their way up to coming for ALL your firearms.

    1. US judges drinking some serious law juice. Sanctuary cities and emergency declarations next please.

      1. Sanctuary cities have been found to be constitutionally protected many times, and that’s not ending. That’s basic federalism.

    2. While I am ambiguous on the law in question, the ruling is stupid. It treats the constitutional ‘floor’ of who can vote as a ceiling for no good reason. The ruling will be appealed.

    1. Never has confidence in the Supreme Court of the United States been lower, especially since three appointed Trump lackeys, two of whom lied under oath regarding overturning precedent cases. Shameful. Abortion is the right of the woman to choose, not the government’s, religious leaders or anyone else’s business. Nor should religion have any place in the public school system.

      1. I beg to differ,Tom. Confidence in the Supreme Court was lower years ago when they reversed that other precedent – the Dred Scott case. You Democrats were real pissed when you found out that you couldn’t own slaves anymore.
