Three Supreme Court decisions today reveal the court's bias towards aiding Christian causes.
It is unfortunate that fiscal conservatives must often defend their reasoning for voting Republican because of the actions of social conservatives. Today, the Supreme Court came to a few decisions on how much they can bastardize our Constitution. Apparently, anything the bible-thumpers want, the bible-thumpers get.
The three cases resolved issues unrelated to their initial causes and implications. It is perhaps only a coincidence that three decisions in a row today were issued within hours of each other on the side of the church.
The three cases are(All 5-4 decisions split along party lines):
Like many conservatives, I was not particularly a fan of the campaign finance reform legislation, but that is a different story. Why must it be decided because of religious groups? Was no one else making a case against the legislation? An issue like this is too important to muddle with religion. Surely, a similar position could be reached without crucifying the Constitution.
Now, on to "Bong Hits 4 Jesus." 
While there is no problem in the minds' of the Supreme Court justices with burning flags or holding signs comparing our political leaders to despots and demons, they find highschoolers speaking out to be spine-chilling. Today, the Supremes also decided that it was OK to harshly reprimand a student for displaying a banner which read "BONG HITS 4 JESUS".
Perhaps, the court is trying to stifle outbursts from minds not yet fully indoctrinated.
Perhaps, they actually thought their decision did not violate the 1st Amendment.
Most likely, their savior was insulted, and this petty action was in their mind a "Get Out of Hell Free Card"
Also today, it was decided for us, that in fact we are not allowed to have a problem with faith-based initiatives. Nope. In the third 5-4 decision of the day, Roberts-Alito & Co. repayed Bush with the ultimate suck off. He's allowed to give money to religious social programs, and us common folk aren't allowed to challenge it.
Really funny guys; I'm guessing I'll wake up tomorrow to headlines of the Court's insistence that a piece of toast with the Virgin Mary be placed in the National Archives immediately.
Why must the Republican Party be run by religion. The constitution clearly has references to the Bible; the laws and rights bestowed upon this nation are largely derived from biblical teachings. Can't that be enough. Can't they fight for the causes of liberty and justice, and just allow people to offend them sometimes, if that's what it takes. They should follow their own advice and "turn the other cheek".
And anyway, until they find Jesus' body and carbon date its contents, no one will know if Jesus ever danced with Mary Jane. So, case not closed...
Live Free or Die,
