John Roberts, and his Court.
Great hair,but way way too right for me!, or IS he?
The backstory: In 1962 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that Public School children could not be lead in prayer by a teacher/principal, etc. That pesky old church and state thing. Cry me a river right wing, pray all you want in church, stay out of ANYTHING public. ( The Justices upheld this in 2000, as well... Students themselves could not use a school provided loud speaker to prey to one another)
Flash forward to today! The Supreme Court refused to hear a case today about school prayer, because THEY ALREADY HAVE. There was this ace jock football coach in East Brunswick, New Jersey, who used to lead his team in prayer. He was told to stop, so, he let a student lead the prayer while he just went to one knee and bowed his head, but did not pray. He was told to stop... and sued. ( give to Caesar what is Caesars....)
Lower court said, " sure! let him pray to Jesus with his football babies, what does it harm" The next court sent that ruling packing ... since you know it was UNCONSTITUTIONAL. The Coach was going to take - it- all - the - way.
Come on, its a right wing court! Scalia! Thomas and Roberts! oh, my! The coach will have his Christian Bible out on that field in no time.....oooops, the Court put a stop to it. Wow, upheld the Constitution and all. Play football on the football field, pray at church. Wow.. what else could this court overthrow?
