Justice Kagan seems to have problems with the program,

Kagan should be removed for cause as she was a defending attorney for Obama in cases brought against him before her confirmation. She got her appointment as pure Chicago style Payola.

Don’t donate to the Christian school. Donate it to the Church that sponsors the school. Pure right off.

This is the most important fight in America today. When we allow Communists to mentor and teach our children, the children lose their love of liberty over security. Each year there’s fewer and fewer of us, by percentage, to fight this fight.

Regardless of your religious leanings, getting our kids back into Christian schools is this country’s only hope.

If all non-public schools are treated the same, where can the objection possibly be?

But if Christian schools are preferred over Jewish or Bhuddist or secular schools then there might be a complaint.

Georgia has a similar program. The amount for individual taxpayers is $1,500 and the amount for joint filers is $2,500. The money is used only for scholarships/financial aid to children leaving public school to go to a private school. The private schools choose whether to participate in the program. Many schools do so because it increases their abilities to offer financial aid. The schools target existing families and alums to donate through this program. Religious and secular schools are participating. The students who receive the aid still have to meet the admission requirements for the specific school.

I have a lib friend who objects to the Georgia program because she thinks it’s a back door voucher program. That argument does not appear to have been made in the case before the SCt. My response to my friend was to ask if she would rather leave these poor kids stuck in our pathetic public school system. Typical lib, she reponded “well, uh, well, hmm, I see your point but...”

Wouldn’t it be unconstitutional to make a law that specifically prevented religious schools from getting the tax break? That would be “a law concerning” religion as opposed to the current law, which ignores religious status as should be in order to be constitutional.

There were state/taxpayer funded religious denominations before and after Constitutional ratification.

This lawsuit has nothing to with the Constitution and everything to do with secular jihad against Christianity.
