Article VI of the Constitution, which pre-dates the Bill of Rights, bars religious tests for holding public office in the United States. This is a very strange thing to include in the foundational document of a country whose founders did not intent for there to be a barrier between church and state. Gorsuch's statement is horrifying. Those who would break down the barriers between government and religion always seem to imagine their particular tribe calling the shots for everyone else. What they should be imagining is the tribe they dislike most having control over their lives. Mixing government and religion is the same terrible idea it has always been. The Founders wanted no part of the religious strife that plagued Europe for centuries.
OnlySky is amazing, the vast amount and variety of content ensures that there is something for just about anyone. I have spent the whole day just browsing from one category to another, there is so much there that it will take me forever to go through it all. It is the best website I have seen in a long time, I foresee myself spending several hours every day on the website. Wait, did I say OnlySky, I meant Pornhub.
Welcome to Gilead, Handmaidens! Our benevolent Christian overseers have been working on more ways to Jesusify your life, because you clearly aren't getting enough of it...
Bad enough that Gorsuch wants the right to infect people with COVID-19 (which is a right that doesn't actually exist). Now he wants to infect all of America with his god which doesn't actually exist, either.
Giving people rights makes one an activist judge, but allowing the uber-privileged to have even more rights, at the expense of the rights of other people is just fine. I hate this country sometimes.
Is it really surprising that christians would ignore any and all evidence that completely contradicts what they think reality is? When they follow a god that always tells them exactly what they want to hear, why should the founding fathers not do the same?
I'd suggest that So-Called Justice Ballscratch needs a remedial 8th-grade Civics course... but it's not for lack of education that he's a theocrat shitbag. He knows that he's wrong, he knows why he's wrong, and the only thing he's bothered about is that the rest of the country can't (yet) be forced by law to be as wrong as he is. He sometimes seems to play himself off as the reasonable one among Ex-President Spray-Tan's appointees, but he's every bit as vile as Injustices Beerpong and Oftrump.
I've heard that argument before from a fundie a long time ago. 2007-ish? It made little sense then either but it is definitely one of those things they have their head wrapped around with Biblical type logic. This court is just getting started.

Gorsuch seems unbothered by all the child molesting clergy in his faith yet a simple flag gets his knickers in a twist.
Xtian priorities.

I’m getting fitted for my red robe and white cap as we speak. Fucking McConnell, lying shitbag, conniving worm.

A so-called Supreme Court Justice.
