Citizens of the United States are being “held hostage” by a “far-right Christian court,” according to MSNBC anchor Joy Ann Reid, who attacked the Supreme Court for its various rulings which she alleged frequently rules “in favor of religious institutions.”
MSNBC’s Joy Reid made the divisive remarks on Wednesday, ahead of the Supreme Court’s overruling of Roe v. Wade, holding in the Dobbs case that the Constitution does not include a right to abortion and returning the issue of abortion laws and regulations to state legislatures.
Reid claimed that in a country “that’s supposedly founded on the separation of church and state, we Americans find ourselves being held hostage by a far right Christian court.”
According to The ReidOut host, under the leadership of Chief Justice John Roberts, “the court has ruled in favor of religious organizations more than 80 percent of the time — far more than any court in the past seven decades.”
She then pointed to both the 2014 landmark Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. decision as well as the later Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission case.
“There was the Hobby Lobby case which allowed businesses to refuse to include birth control in their health care coverage and the time they allowed a bake shop to refuse to make a cake to celebrate a same sex marriage,” she said.
She also highlighted a recent Supreme Court ruling against the exclusion of religious schools from a program that offers tuition aid for private education.
“Just yesterday, the court ruled that state programs providing money for public schools cannot exclude religious schools requiring taxpayers to fund Christian education,” Reid said.
“And it’s far from the only important decision coming from the court this session,” she added.

Democrats are so stupid to listen to idiots like Joy Reid.
Like there is something wrong with being far-right or Christian. If I was called that, I would wear it like a badge of honor. The best defense to comments like there is a confident and positive ‘thank you’. Then point out there’s still more of that leftist freaks. If they don’t believe that, tell them they are going to get a democracy suppository in November.
So while the court has been held hostage for 50 years by Satanic liberal judges, conservatives have just had to suck it up and accept decisions they don’t agree with.
When the Satanic leftists don’t get their way they throw temper tantrums and want to burn the country down.
Where in the constitution does it ever state you have a right to kill the unborn?
The “right to abortion” was always based on LIES AND FALSE FLAG SCAMS.
A far-right Christian is safer than ANY democrat.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I suppose the hahvahad grad would prefer a extremist left leaning satanic court? Seems as if someone wasted a lot of time at hahvahad if she is a result of that “institute of ‘higher’ learning”.
