After eight long years of litigation culminating in the Supreme Court ruling in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District last summer, the school will pay Kennedy $5,304 to coach the team, and First Liberty Institute $1,775,000 in legal fees for defending him.

When asked how he felt about being back on the field after being fired for praying on the field after games had ended, he said “Overall, it’s been great. A lot of people have been praying for this for a long time, and I think America is ready to just enjoy the religious freedom once again.”

Which simply means taxpayers foot the bill. Will the democrats who actually caused this issue suffer any personal loss? We all know the answer is no.

The decision is a pivotal one.

No more relying on a phantom "wall of separation" of religion and the state.

Hooray for you Coach Kennedy! Though encouraged in the precedent you have set, unable to comprehend why you would
return to such mechanics of tyrants who attempt to control
your religious beliefs.

Onward and upward, sir.

The first Liberty Institute should have billed an extra 1000$ so it would be $1,776,000

seriously that should have been obvious.

Which is what happens every time that a cop steps on their dick. They don’t pay for it. Which is why I’ve said forever that just like doctors, lawyers, plumbers, locksmiths, etc... cops should have to have individual bonds that pay for their egregious actions. It wouldn’t take long for the especially bad ones to price themselves out of a job just like a quack doctor with prohibitively expensive malpractice insurance.

How much would the average compensation per cop have to be? An extra million per year?

That is my hometowns High School. I am so proud of that. What a trooper he is, and a fighter. Know this, his wards will always know how hard he is willing to fight. It will show in results in his charges

Is that what a locksmith pays for their bond? Or a roofing contractor? I don’t think so. But the one’s who have a penchant for using excessive force and trampling on people’s constitutional rights would certainly get expensive. And it would price them out of a job, just like a bad doctor, or a bad lawyer. You don’t have to worry about trying to fire the assholes, they just quit themselves because they can’t afford it.

The people who got him fired should be forced to pay the suit! THEY LOST, they should FEEL IT!
