Right but the supreme court won’t be making that decision. Now that they have the right to sue, it will be a jury trial.
Hold the champagne and confetti. This is just the case they use to show how even-handed they are, so that they have free rein rule for theist supremacy, later. (And it’s not even a “religious freedom” case; it’s an “FBI being too coercive” case.)

Fair point. Though it’s still a pretty indirect route toward “ruling in favor of religious freedom”.

I somehow doubt that The Church of Satan will gain much sympathy in this SCOTUS.

I don’t think this has a lot to do with religious freedom at all. It doesn’t look as if the FBI had tried to interfere with the plaintiffs’ worshipping. Instead, if the FBI tried to use the no-fly list in order to coerce a bunch of rabbit breeders or trombone players to become informants, that would have been just as wrong.
What really sucks is that it apparently took the SCOTUS 4+ years to sort this out.

I am a little surprised, though maybe I shouldn’t be, by the # of comments about Trump and this SCOTUS etc. in response to this story Good to keep in mind this suit began under the Obama Admin! And no I am not trolling - I am as anti-Trump as they come. The man belongs in prison. And if the Dems regain the Senate ad Biden has any cojones they need to “pack” - er take back stolen seats - on the Supreme Court. But romanticizing the Dems and their appointees when it comes to civil liberties and individual rights when up against law enforcement and the Feds, is neither accurate nor helpful in building a future with equal parts freedom and justice…
same here. then i shaved my beard and it seemed to stop.

never fear. nobody here has done that, and there are numerous posts and threads that discuss issues due to dems.
here’s just one:
Biden Transition Team/Appointments Watch
no party or person is the solution to all that ails america. the deal with trump and the gop is that they have given up trying in order to line their own pockets and fluff their own egos.

I don’t disagree at all with that. And yes I am not talking about the site in general, but thanks - just this thread. It just seemed that given this is a legal battle that began under Obama, this seemed particularly relevant to keep in mind here…
No one is doing that.
