It’s not every day that you get such a collection of entertaining quotes from Supreme Court justices. Last week’s oral arguments in Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer will decide whether a state can exclude a religious entity from a public grant program just because the entity is religious. These four entertaining moments from those arguments indicate the court will likely rule for the church in this case.

MO has a guy named Nixon as governator.
This started under the dim governor Nixon. After the clean sweep by Republicans the new governor dropped the religiosity ban on grants.
The SC went ahead and heard the case, I’m guessing 7-2 voted against religious discrimination.
So when they decide IN FAVOR OF the churches, it becomes “law of the land”, right?
(just like gay marriage did when one state approved it)
Sometimes losing a case is the best way to get what you want.
Not anymore.
I don’t trust Roberts or Kennedy
How does a case with such obvious state bias make it to the USSC in the first place?
What is going on in the lower courts?
Agree with you. And I actually don’t trust Gorsuch. I’m worried that he’ll make a bombastic and unexpected decision out of the gate just to prove he isn’t Trump’s puppet.
Also, IIRC, his minister is a lesbian so it seems that discernment isn’t his strong suit. I believe anyone can, and should, attend any church he pleases. It’s that person’s choice and there’ll be some ‘splainin’ to God later on. But being OK with a lesbian minister is a very liberal stance.
That is not the only priest at that church. I don’t know which service he attends and my guess is you don’t either. He may attend service that someone else officiates
If any church condones lesbian ministers, it’s a BAAAD church.
Planned Parenthood performs a few positive services. It also condones/pushes abortion. Is it OK to support Planned Parenthood for non-abortion services? Maybe it is, but I wouldn’t do it.
Gorsuch’s history as a judge says he follows the law. Until I see evidence otherwise I am not going to predict that he will do differently now that he is on SCOTUS
I do not interfere with a person’ s individual belief system.
Promoting a priest who practices homosexuality is a reflection of the total doctrine of the church. Sound doctrine does not exist in that church. It is an apostate church.
Well good for you. You are not part of the Episcopal church
I am no longer a part of the “Episcopal church” for this very reason. They are no longer Christian, in my opinion.
Most of the main line churches are no longer following the Bible, or Christ. From my research, which isn’t very extensive, all go the main line denominations are steadily losing membership because they are pandering, not preaching.
The only two denominations that seem to be holding their own are the Lutherans (Missouri synod) and the Southern Baptists. These follow the Bible, and Christ’s teachings.
Nixon is gone, the new Republican Governor is very conservative. I dont understand why they haven’t stopped this thing.
Apparently term limits worked some magic.
