The Roberts Supreme Court has once again shown that it cares little for the Constitution, legal history, or precedent.  It recently decided that it is perfectly fine for our government to favor one religion.

Yeah, I know, right?  You’d think the explicit words of the 1st Amendment make it amazingly clear.  You’d think anyone who could read would agree that wouldn’t be allowed.  And, in fact, that’s the way it’s always been.

But just like how they decided that (a) the 2nd Amendment applies to individuals and not the military;  (b) money is “speech” and the government doesn’t have the power to regulate campaign contributions;  (c) schools cannot make their own decisions concerning admission policies; (d) the Environmental Protection Agency doesn’t have the power to protect the environment … anyway, I could go on.  In case after case, a slim majority of the Court overturned years of precedent to promote its conservative agenda, and damn the Constitution.

And the public knows that this is political.  It’s so blatantly clear that public support for the Court has dropped from 90% confidence to 44%.   (Still higher than Congress, though.)

Anyway, the Court held that there is nothing wrong with a government leading everyone in a Christian prayer every day.  The basis for this argument was “What Establishment Clause?”  They also completely rewrote American history by arguing that many of the Founding Fathers were Christians and therefore would agree.  (Well, yeah, but they specifically made sure that their religion stayed completely separate from the government by writing things like, oh, I don’t know, The Establishment Clause.)

Christians who rail against Sharia Law thought this was the greatest decision ever.  They only object when it’s someone else’s religion being used.  (And yes, I am aware that there are indeed many Christians who support the Constitution and disagree with this decision.)
