WOW, this country is toast.
Begging forgiveness is easier and buys some time to prove they ARE butt holes.
The first amendment is out, the second amendment is warming up in the bull pen.
Kids don’t get COVID.
The Freedom to Worship is being denied for political reasons, no medical.
Looks like the SCOTUS is going whole hog Deep State.
Just more of what will be the norm from this leftist SCOTUS...
We can kiss the 2nd Amendment goodbye...
Looks to me like Alito is the one reliable conservative voice. We didn't even get Thomas.
SCOTUS didn’t actually make a ruling... they just announced to the world that the ‘waited long enough for the problem to go away’.
A true Profile in Courage.

That's really comforting.
USSC once more shows they will not protect the rights of the people from government overstep... cowards

You want some cheese with that?

a dead rotting rat delivers more Justice,
more Truth, more often than the entire
coven of blackrobes “Supreme” frauds [”justices”].
they are lazy, treasonous, openly seditious,
brutally uncaring, and utterly selfserving
from Epstein Island to the child rapists they SERVE.
The First Amendment renders it “free exercise thereof”. It was the USSR’s constitution that brought in phrases like “freedom of religious worship”.
You can kiss whatever.
Religion...ussr....like to see your timeline on that...
