    Well, that’s interesting Josh Hawley, but the whole ‘separation of church and state’ thing says you’re wrong. I’m sorry you don’t like it but you’re more than welcome to go fuck yourself.

      Consider the SCOTUS has now established “deeply rooted in our nation’s history and traditions” as the test for whether something is constitutional or not… his viewpoint will certainly resonate there.

        Yes. It’s disgusting. Judges are not supposed to be politicians and these Christofascists use some real pretzel logic interpretations of law to come to their conclusions.
