And now it goes to SCOTUS and they allow it.

United States of (christian) Taliban

Remember the 1st amendment? That was a good one while it lasted.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

I'll miss it

Hey, we'll still have the 2nd amendment until we give them a reason to take it away. I vote we give them a really good reason to want us disarmed, but that maybe also puts them in, you know, a position where they can no longer vote to take any more constitutional rights away.

Setting precedent for other districts

[–] frezik@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

Maybe. The one thing that saves rational results right now is that the Supreme Court can't possibly take every single case. They have to pick carefully for cases that will fuck things up the most.

Rare W for separation of church and state in Republican territory. I hope it lasts.

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe someone should tell Republicans that religion is all made up, not real. Kinda like magic and trickle-down economics.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

We keep trying, but they keep pulling both of those out like it's settled fact.

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But if they can't get the ten commandments in school, how then will trickle-down indoctrination work? 🤔

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Didn't you hear? They're rebranding to horse and sparrow indoctrination instead!

/s

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

It's unfortunate to see all the poor dead sparrows underneath the hooves of the grotesquely obese horses. Don't Tread On Me has taken on a new meaning.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Something like this maybe?

And I bet they add some lines to the pledge of allegiance too. They'll squeeze Trump's name in there somehow. After all, these people think he's the second coming.

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Lovely. Absolutely 🤬ing lovely.

[–] ARk@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What's the point of putting it up there if they don't follow it?

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 month ago

Enforcing religiousity has little to do with morals and more to do with control. Look at any religious state and you will find not a moral state, but one that uses religion to control other people and enforce their power.

I wish there was a word for what religion, specifically in the southern section of the US, is doing to children. Like a word that describes how they are.... Let's just say grooming them.

Thank Buddah!

This was totally (in my humble opinion) service for someone who "donated" to the new governor before he got elected. It was one of the first things he did it felt like. LA is plagued with a cliqued up, corrupt political system basically since its inception. I'm just glad that this shit got shot down further up the line. These damn Christian nationalists are a huge problem for any forward momentum that gets traction in legislation and only drag us backwards it feels like.
