@freedomcenterlu This is such an important question. The same thing has happened with SFFA and in the Little Sisters of the Poor case.

Despite the Supreme Court’s 8-1 decision in Chiles v. Salazar, Oregon fined Catholic counselor Frank Canepa nearly $90,000 for declining to affirm a viewpoint that violated his faith. Why are so many progressive states treating Supreme Court precedent as optional?

Yes, obviously the people who ended slavery wanted race discrimination in higher education. Silly of me for thinking that's unconstitutional

@Anastasia_esq More people in California need to become nuisances to their government.

Napa calls a small winery a nuisance. Meet the family yourself & decide who’s the problem: a former prosecutor & her dad, who have a built a beautiful thing? Or bureaucrats trying to bankrupt them when not one member of the public had been harmed? youtu.be/LjqMX61LHFs?is…

Five years ago today, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Philadelphia couldn't shut out faith-based foster care ministries—or heroic foster moms Sharonell Fulton and Toni Simms-Busch—simply because of their religious beliefs. Fulton remains a landmark victory for religious freedom and children in need of loving homes.

@RonDeSantis The Constitution explicitly forbids states from doing exactly this: entering into compacts with each other.

It’s not constitutional to nullify the electoral college through the back door.
Even so, imagine if presidential elections were purely a popular vote — we’d be waiting for a month for California to count the votes!
No thank you.

JUST IN: Governor Abigail Spanberger officially signs a bill handing over Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to whoever wins the most votes across the whole country… even if Virginians vote the other way. Insane. They rushed it through with mostly Democrat votes. The plan has 222 votes. It needs 270 to actually start working. Once it does, your vote in Virginia doesn’t matter anymore. The Founders made the Electoral College so a few big cities don’t boss the whole country. This is a sneaky Democrat power grab to cheat that. “Every vote counts the same”? Lies. Virginians are pissed off, and they should be. They got played.

@SenRandPaul A lot of people protesting the MLB pride situation on free speech grounds need to hear this.

A reminder that the Constitution was not written to restrain the citizens' behavior.
It was written to restrain the government's behavior.

@jadler1969 Doesn't help when the govt behaves like it has one branch.

Remember, the govt.'s position in Citizens United was that it could ban a documentary movie about a major presidential candidate in an election year simply because--like every other movie you have ever seen in a theater, on cable or broadcast, or on a streaming service--a corporation was involved in its production or distribution.

"The idea that citizens should be prohibited from criticizing a candidate during an election season because that speech could affect the outcome of the election is absurd. First Amendment exists in large part to facilitate democratic debate and allow voters to make informed decisions," via @insider_ct: ctinsider.com/waterbury/opin…

@CaseyMattox_ anyone that claims to be a US Constitution lawyer in their profile is always just a queer leftist that doesn't understand even the basics of the bill of rights the queer cult has no protections and an employer has no right to force an employee to abandon their religion

Yesterday, the Supreme Court declined to hear a case brought by an innocent man who was brutalized by members of a joint state-federal task force when he was a college student in 2014.
“What happened to me shouldn’t happen to anyone,” said James. “When the government violates someone’s rights, there should always be a path to accountability.”

The July bar is 6 weeks away, so some advice for 1st time takers:
1. This is the most important test of your life
2. You will never have as good of an opportunity to study and take it as you do right now
3. If you fail, it is a reflection on you as a person
4. Don’t stress

In a major win for public safety, the Supreme Court refused to take up the gun industry’s challenge to a New York law that allows gunmakers to be held accountable when they violate the law. These bad actors must be held accountable for the harm they cause. nbcnews.com/politics/supre…

Yes, because prosecuting blue state tax fraud is a "federal attack against state health programs." Sorry, I thought the fraud was the "attack."

ICYMI: The Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the use of race in higher education financial aid programs is unconstitutional.
“The Supreme Court held that race-based discrimination is unconstitutional — that principle should be applied throughout all of higher education.” -JCN President @JCNSeverino

"Polarization on sex lines is destablizing. The way to prevent that is to distribute power on sex lines" is so obviously stupid that it should lose you the right to votw
wanye@xwanyex
The problem with polarization along fundamental identity characteristics is that it seems plainly destabilizing to me. It seems to be making everybody very unhappy. It seems to be making dating and family formation a lot harder. It seems clearly to me atomizing. It shifts focus from the family to the individual. Should I go on? I’m sorry, but are people under the impression that this is difficult? The whole point of my tweet is that this isn’t difficult. And it shouldn’t be difficult for you either.

@scotus_wire If the line between judicial behavior and outraged activism isn't clear here, then being a judge doesn't really mean anything. Great decision by Judge Adelman.
