Supreme Court Delivers Knockout Punch to White House...

Let the good times role!

Wednesday the United States Supreme Court delivered a knockout blow to the White House in the cause of religious liberty.

Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for a unanimous court swatted away the government’s claim that the Lutheran Church did not have the right to fire a “minister of religion” who, after six years of Lutheran religious training had been commissioned as a minister, upon election by her congregation.

The fired minister -- who also taught secular subjects -- claimed discrimination in employment. The Obama administration, always looking for opportunities to undermine the bedrock of First Amendment religious liberty, eagerly agreed.

For a long time American courts have recognized the existence of a "ministerial exemption" which keeps government’s hands off the employment relationship between a religious institution and its ministers or clergy.

I actually thought the Supremes might be unanimous on Heller. Both Laurence Tribe and Alan Dershowitz. verrry liberal Harvard professors, had agreed the Second Amendment actually meant what it said giving cover to liberal Supremes but still even that was not enough.

I'm shocked they could all agree on anything even if it is what's right

Hardly a knock out punch, barely a toe stub. How about they hear one of the cases that keep getting filed about the White House residents murky past, his scholarships, his passports, hinky birth certificates, hokey social security card, bogus draft card and...well that should be enough for next Monday, Tuesday is another list.
