Interesting point - none of the employers in Bostock were religious organizations. These rulings seem to need reconciling; one would think that 1A trumps the Civil Rights Act.
me: “one would think that 1A trumps the Civil Rights Act.”
A hurdle being Justice Scalia’s ruling: in supporting anti-peyote laws, that “if prohibiting the exercise of religion ... is ... merely the incidental effect of a generally applicable and otherwise valid provision, the First Amendment has not been offended.” (Employment Div. v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990))
The heathen rage, but Our God is Mightier than they can even fathom.
They’ll have a serious trial for eternity if they don’t repent. One that will be impossible to endure or escape from.
Easier to aim on a still target.
I did extensive research on how the supremes do their decision-making when they know the public will be aroused. They purposely grease the skids for even worse transgressions to come, via incremental decisions. They did it with Roe by carefully crafting some vague language into the lawsuits about birth control that preceded Roe, which they knew was in the pipeline. Then lower courts had a field day with the vague language in, for instance, Eisenstadt v. Baird, to make literally hundreds of piecemeal assaults on traditional marriage and legitimize the so-called Sexual Revolution, which was a marxist revolution in disguise.
Gorsuch said as much about this one when he said that there will be many future lawsuits over the implementation of this one. He just opened The bomb bay doors and he knows it.
