Sure, which is why Gorsuch had to lie about the facts and evidence to make his case that this was about the coach's first amendment rights.

I don't dislike religious people. Some of the best people I know are religious people, but I wouldn't want them raising helmets snd praying on the 50 yard line after a game if they were public school coaches. Like I said, I m not anti-religious. I'm pro separation of church and state.

FYI It's not really your politics that gets you banned. It's comments like this:

"But I have no problem with shutting down every corporate beef processor in America hiring wets"

No, what got us here were the life begins at conception people. The no exceptions for rape and incest victims people . The no exceptions for the health of the mother or fetal fatality people. And they aren't done yet pushing their radical, obscene and cruel "religious" objective.

Determined by who? The liar Gorsuch? Hell of a thing when a SC justice lies to get the job and then lies in a filing in order to justify the case. Amazing balls. And total disdain for the rule of law from the highest court in the land. This country is well and truly lost.

"Why don't you share all the stories about the stupid decisions people make on Friday night, then realize they embarrassed their families and won't finish Hair and Nail school that Dad paid for in cash?"

Perhaps if you read the link I posted, you'd have realized how stupid and ignorant and irrelevant your comment is:

July 2011, my husband and I went to see my OBGYN for the anatomical ultrasound of our second baby. We were excited, hopeful, naively blissful. Our lives changed immediately when the ultrasound tech quietly left the room and went to get our doctor. 2/16

Here's the last tweet in this thread:

If you've read this far, thank you. Maybe my story will help some of those who are indifferent about the overturning of Roe v. Wade, understand we cannot be indifferent. Indifference is what got us here. 16/16

Kneeling in prayer on the 50 yard line after a game is okay, but whatever you do, don't go to mid-field and assume the lotus position:

Exchange seen on Twitter--

How are schools going to like it when teachers or other school staff want to lead students in Muslim prayer? Or Buddhist?

THEY FREAKED OUT ABOUT YOGA FFS

"I acknowledged Tony's post. Because you did not like my response does not erase the fact I acknowledged it, bless your heart."

Tony hasn't posted on this thread, so there is no way you could have responded to him.

In order to offer some reality to the overturning of Roe v Wade on Friday, I feel the need to tell you a story. It's my story, my family's story, and an example how this ruling reaches far and wide. Please read and share ...

$79 LOL Once again, you are wrong. Figured by now you would get tired of that. I figured wrong.

I wasn't wrong. You ignored the content of LL's post and tried to focus on him instead:

#77. 2015? Has anyone ever seen you and Tony Roma is the same room at the same time? While I am sure you appreciate the long copy and paste it had nothing to do with my post. Does RCADE pay you by the word count in your posts?

Don't expect Gracie to acknowledge your post.

OTOH, states will be able to go after the dead beat dads in ways they couldn't pre-Roe due to ample DNA testing.

Corky any poor person, no matter the color, can work and should be required to. Giving them so many options not to work is wrong.

There are going to be a lot less women working once the forced pregnancies kick in. One the arguments against free benefits for people of all colors was that lazy women kept getting pregnant in order to keep getting more of them.

Immigrants don't just come here for the free benefits. Some come because they have family members here and/or because of what they imagine our freedoms and opportunities to be.

"Human, sex and drug trafficking is baked into illegal immigration. All of those things are cruel. Reducing the volume of illegal entry reduces the volume of those cruel things. Increasing the volume increases the amount of cruelty."

Wouldn't increasing legal immigration from countries south of the border decrease those things? And wasn't Trump specifically against doing that?

"The Democrat approach is to double it"

Double what?

You do realize the GOP just elected the first Mexican born congresswoman? Right?
Your tribalism is why there's going to be redwave, you have no idea why they are voting with the GOP.

I guess that means Trump won't call her a rapist.

"A wall is an obstacle. Climbing it comes with inherent risks. The stated and enforced policy was--don't enter illegally.

46 people dying a horrific excruciating, prolonged and torturous death in the back of a semi is a result of policy that ENCOURAGES and promotes this type of illegal entry.

According to the stories I've read, some of the people who climb the wall and fall to their deaths were forced to do so by the same type of people who are responsible for abandoning the 46/42 people who died today. In both cases, desperate people do desperate things and fall prey to those who don't give a damn about their well being.

The GOP have rigged the states through gerrymandering, and the SC says, well, that's unfair but nothing we can do about it:

I have an important addendum to the story. One person is quoted calling Kavanaugh's "back to the people" theory "naive"

Folks, he's not nave at all. He knows exactly where and how this decision will be made in states. & how disconnected it is from the people

And how do I ...

3/know that? Because in the court's most recent decision over partisan gerrymandering (Rucho), Roberts wrote that extreme partisan gerrymandering leads to outcomes that are "incompatible with democratic principles" and which "reasonably seem unjust".

And ...

4/Kavanaugh signed onto that opinion.

(They concluded that federal courts should not intervene, but they acknowledged the problem)

So Kavanaugh knows full well what will happen back in undemocratic states

And it tells us all we need to know about the court and especially ...

5/Kavanaugh that he would choose to gaslight the country that this will lead to a democratic process.

He knows full well that's a lie.

Truly a political hack.
Kavanaugh that he would choose to gaslight the country that this will lead to a democratic process.

Truly a political hack.

This is exactly what Dems and progressives support and enable. 42 dead. That is a bigger number than any mass shooting in my lifetime. But these people all have brown skin which means their deaths mean nothing to the left.

Republicans would prefer these people with brown skin fall off Trump's wall a few at a time. It's a lot easier to clean up the corpses that way.

I don't care what the SC says to justify this ruling; it's a bad ruling and further undercuts any legitimacy the court once had. That they had to lie to justify the ruling just proves yet again that they are a bunch of dishonest rightwing hacks.

Interesting retort on this decision.....

That is indeed an interesting article. The author is a Christian, and yet he felt uncomfortable and disagreed with the prayers delivered by the Steelers' defensive captain each week.

Rather than letting the individual players decide if, when and how they pray, the justices empowered coaches to inflict their prayers on their teams. And high school coaches exert far more influence on their players than our defensive captain did on me.

It is highly unlikely that players on any given team will find their coach's prayer agreeable.

If a team reflects the religious affiliations of the American people as reported by Pew Research, then about 63% of the players will identify as Christians. That would mean a 60-person football squad includes 22 players who are not professing Christians (enough players to fill an entire offensive unit and defensive unit).

And the self-declared Christians are subjected to prayers that may represent interpretations contrary to their beliefs and practices. Some would see praying on the 50-yard line as violating Jesus' admonition to avoid praying on street corners in order to make a show before people. Others may view Christian faith as a moral code to live by yet they may have to listen to a fundamentalist go on about people being lost or saved and heading to hell or heaven.

Or, if the coach is non-Christian, say a Muslim, Christian players must listen to a non-Christian prayer.

When an individual player prays before, during or after a game, it is a voluntary act--a matter of conscience. When a coach leads a prayer, his players are a captive audience who must listen to his ideas, not theirs.

The ruling also violates the First Amendment bar concerning a religious establishment. It permits a public school official to vocalize his or her particular prayer to a captive audience. And coaches are powerful authority figures. They decide who plays and who does not. When coaches initiate a prayer and invite players to participate, the players either conform and listen to, or at least sit through, that prayer or risk their places on the team.

"The Supreme Court ruled the man was within his Constitutional rights."

And the SC lied in their ruling in order to do it:

To reach his conclusion, Gorsuch simply rewrote the facts. In his account, Kennedy had been suspended exclusively for his silent prayer"not the spectacle he created by hijacking football games with prayer circles. And because this prayer was allegedly so "quiet," it qualified as "private" expression shielded by the First Amendment. The coach's prayer, Gorsuch insisted, was "not delivered as an address to the team, but instead in his capacity as a private citizen." So even though he was in the middle of a field that he could only access because he was performing his job responsibilities, his speech bore no imprint of government approval, and was totally unconnected to his work as a coach.

As Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in dissent, Gorsuch's "myopic framing" contradicts precedent that requires courts to assess the "taint" of "past practice," because "reasonable observers have reasonable memories." To promote its preferred narrative, the court had to ignore Kennedy's "years of inappropriately leading students in prayer in the same spot, at that same time, and in the same manner." Sotomayor also criticized the majority's whole repudiation of Lemon, the endorsement test, and the "reasonable observer" standard. But she pointed out that the opinion goes further than that: It also defanged the very heart of establishment clause jurisprudence, the principle that states may not coerce individuals into worship. "The coercive pressures" of Kennedy's conduct were "obvious"; even Justice Brett Kavanaugh acknowledged during oral arguments that students might fear retaliation if they did not join. In case there was any doubt, students did come forward to attest that they felt coerced into prayer.

Gorsuch's response to these kids? Get over it. "Learning how to tolerate" public prayer, he wrote, is just "part of learning how to live in a pluralistic society." A "tolerant citizenry" must live with the coercion of children into a particular faith at school; so long as they are not forced to join at risk of formal retaliation, they have no right to demand the freedom from indoctrination in their schools.

Any idiot with eyes can see from the photo in the article that Gorsuch lied:

PS If I hadn't voted and one or more of those hardcore MAGA candidates had won, I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself. I figured if I voted and they still won, at least I tried and made my voice heard.
