Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger have a new example of insurrection that threatens the very foundations of American democracy. I am certain they will be calling for a select committee to investigate this assault on our republic.
A major hurricane is coming ashore in Florida. Please stay safe. Please heed the orders of local officials who are trying to provide for your safety.
Back after the leak of the Dobbs decision that presaged the overturning of the Row v Wade decision, John Davidson wrote an article for the Federalist that praised the decision. The Dobbs decision returned some semblance of sanity to cases being argued in the Supreme Court. The decision was a triumph for how our founding fathers saw the branches of government. Davidson also warned about the potential violent after effects of the decision.
What would ordinarily be an item in the Babylon Bee, is now real life. The University of Pennsylvania has nominated a man for the NCAA “Woman of the Year” award. Lia Thomas, formerly known as Will Thomas, has been put up for the award.
The Supreme Court, siding with a football coach who knelt in prayer at the 50-yard line, ruled 6-3 that a school district cannot bar him from publicly exercising his faith on the field after the game. [Full Ruling Here]
The Issue:
In 2015, Kennedy had been a part-time football coach at Bremerton High School for seven years. Coach Kennedy would pray at midfield after each game, alone, with some of his players and players of the opposing team joining him. When the school district learned about Kennedy’s prayers, they told him to stop. When Kennedy refused, the district fired him. ...
The Supreme Court on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively ending, on the federal level, recognition of the legal right to kill unborn babies, the most vulnerable among us. It will now be up to the individual states to allow, limit, or ban abortion altogether. It is hopeful that the sanctity of life will guide many of those decisions.
The ruling came in the case known as Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which centered on a Mississippi law that banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The State of Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to strike down a lower court ruling that stopped the 15-week abortion ban from taking place.
The Supreme Court decided against New York’s “special needs” law that includes strict rules for concealed carry in the state. Prior to this ruling, the state could decide who it wanted to have this right and who it didn’t.
Are Americans in an abusive relationship with their government and government health authorities in particular?
Capitol Police arrested 9 members of Stephen Colbert’s staff on Thursday night for busting into the Longworth House Office Building. This sounds a bit like Watergate to me. Or were they scouting the place out for a potential insurrection when the Republicans regain control of the House?
The cops shooed them away once. However, the group surfaced later after the Capitol complex was closed to the public. Apparently they took pictures and video around the offices of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO). Sounds like a prelude to insurrection to me. When will the FBI Swat teams be knocking down their front doors?
They were arrested and charged with illegal entry. They were arrested near Boebert’s office. How long will they have to remain in the Capitol gulag? Oh, I forgot. They are part of the PR arm of the Democratic Party. They were released in the morning while others from January 6th still remain under arrest for walking through the Capitol Building more than a year ago. Let’s remember Colbert’s people actually broke in.
There have been no decisions announced yet in the big cases (abortion, 2nd amendment). However, religious freedom and the free exercise thereof was affirmed by the Supreme Court on Tuesday. The Supreme Court voted 6-3 to protect religious liberty and to end state-sponsored discrimination against religious education. This decision may be bigger than many people realize.
