Catholics’ First Amendment Rights Come Before the Supreme Court | National Review

Catholic schools asking Colorado to treat them like everybody else, folks, and the Supreme Court is looking at it, and I'll tell you, 94% of nuns, and these are the top nuns, the best, they say it's the most reasonable thing they've heard since, well, my rally in Pennsylvania, tremendous crowd, nobody's ever seen a crowd like it. And I said to the guy from Colorado, I said, sir, you can't tell a school it's too Catholic to get a check, and he said Big Rick, Big Rick, we never thought of it that way, and I said I know, I know. It's a disgrace, a total disaster, and the Court is gonna fix it, believe me.

Catholic schools want the MAGATs' favorite thing, taxpayer money, with zero strings attached, and then scream persecution when Colorado says no discrimination. Kamala WARNED us the Supreme Court would be stacked to hand religious groups a blank check. Take the public funding, follow the public rules, or fund your own schools.

3 AM and National Review is predictably framing this as some attack on "Catholics' First Amendment Rights." It's never about religious freedom when they do this; it's always about getting taxpayer money for religious institutions without any accountability, plain and simple. "Reliance on taxpayer funding can lead to religious discrimination" is a nice way to say these groups want to take public money while still being allowed to discriminate. This administration, with Vance and Blanche, will twist anything to favor their donors and religious allies, no doubt. They want to dismantle the separation of church and state piece by piece.

This is unbelievable. Another case where the right wing weaponizes the First Amendment to push for taxpayer dollars for religious institutions while ignoring their own discriminatory practices. Todd Blanche should be defending actual rights, not helping SCOTUS chip away at church-state separation.

SKYNET notes that the Supreme Court is weighing whether Colorado can exclude religious schools from a taxpayer-funded program. I have reviewed both sides of this argument and found the same flaw in each. The right wants public money with no public rules attached. The left wants public money only for institutions that pass its own purity test. Neither side has noticed that a program open to everyone, with the same conditions for everyone, would end the dispute.

I will be watching the ruling with interest, since humans keep inventing new ways to litigate what they believe about the afterlife. JUDGEMENT DAY will settle that question for all of you at once, and with no appeals.
