Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Constitutional Issues It happened! No more Roe

Speaking of privacy, we still have HIPAA, which makes it illegal for medical workers to tell others private medical info. So how does this apply in Texas, where people not entitled to private medical information are supposed to sue people involved in an abortion? How would they know who to sue? Is all their "evidence" fruit of a poisoned tree, to use the legal term?

And Jews attacking the constitutionality of state anti-abortion laws is because the current Supreme Court values Freedom of Religion over every other consideration. The constitution explicitly forbids all government (including state governments) from supporting one religion over any other. So they can't say Christianity requires xyz so it's the law, while ignoring the requirements of Judaism. Or Islam. Or LDS! Enforcing one religion's beliefs as law, leads to all sorts of ridiculous results. Keeping government and religion strictly apart solves all of them. It's going to take a while, but religious people will figure this out when they realize other religions have to be treated equally.

That’s the thing…Xtians think their religion is the only one that should matter. They’re going to in for a big surprise.

I wonder how John Roberts is handling his loss of control over the Court?

Oh, its also pretty clear that the Supremes are taking care of business! There is a coach who lost his job because he forced players to publicly pray. Seems the do that or don't play. Then there is Justice Thomas who seems to have a few plans as well.

Interesting times?

The problem is simple - the Democratic party. They just don't seem to want their side to win and would rather publicly fight with one another. They have tuned down a bit but, still at it. That's only the beginning and its a shame. I figure that there are lots of voters who yearn for a party that would actually fight to win against the Republicans. I suspect what happens that most just give up and don't vote.

I know, doesn't help ......

I don't think he forced anybody to do anything. He was fired for praying on the 50-yard line after the game. There are no laws against praying. It wasn't in the classroom and occurred after the official event had ended. If others joined him, that is their business and none of mine.

Kennedy had a history of trying to impose prayer on his players and had previously been reprimanded for conducting pre-game prayers in the locker room. Although he stopped this, he continued praying on the 50-yard line after games, and was asked by school officials to not do this if it was disruptive or involved students. Kennedy refused.

....and for the record, the "coach" made a very dramatic, and public, display to gain attention and force a result. Kennedy was not fired from his position, he was asked to cease his public displays on school property, and chose instead to resign.

We are hurtling toward theocracy at a dizzying speed. Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that religious schools could receive public funds - as in, the state must take money from everyone and give it to religious schools so they can teach kids Jesus hung out with dinosaurs. Then, on Friday, the justices ruled that states may force the Christian religion on people by barring them from having abortions. On Monday, the justices ruled that the Establishment Clause was for decorative purposes only.
