    Supreme Court Upholds Trump’s Order Protecting Little Sisters From Funding Abortions

    The Supreme Court issued a ruling today upholding a pro-life order from President Donald Trump that protected the Little Sisters of the Poor from being force to pay for abortion-causing drugs under their health insurance plan. Abortion advocates have spent years trying to force the Catholic nuns to fund the destruction of unborn babies in abortions.

    Justices voted 7-2 to uphold the pro-life order from the president with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the four conservatives on the court along with liberal Justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, both abortion advocates, dissented.

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Two decisions, yes.

          But to your point, yes today was a victory for religious freedom. No doubt about it.

          I don't like the results of the decision, but the court decided, and that's that.

            Personally, I think the most significant part is the decision was 7-2. It undercuts the argument that it was a "conservative" decision.

                I see the religious decision as far more important going forward...

                  That's the big one, though there's also the question of whether a third of Oklahoma is actually an Indian Reservation (McGirt v. Oklahoma). I'm really surprised the latter has gotten so little attention. Maybe it's because the question at hand is so state-specific.

                    I missed this one, another 7-2:

                    Supreme Court: religious schools can discriminate when hiring

                    The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday to protect religious schools against employment discrimination lawsuits, citing the schools' constitutionally guaranteed religious independence.

                    ...The high court's ruling was 7-2, with two liberal justices joining the conservative majority for the schools

                      Does that mean they could take over whole cities?

                          Supreme Court says eastern half of Oklahoma is Native American land

                          * The Supreme Court ruled that a huge swath of the state of Oklahoma is Native American land for certain purposes, siding with a Creek Nation man who challenged his conviction by state authorities in the territory.
                          * The 5-4 decision was authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch.
                          * The case sprang from the conviction of Creek member Jimmy McGirt, who was convicted by an Oklahoma court of raping a four-year-old child on land whose ownership was in dispute in the case.

                          The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that a huge swath of Oklahoma is Native American land for certain purposes, siding with a Native American man who had challenged his rape conviction by state authorities in the territory.

                          The 5-4 decision, with an opinion authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch, endorsed the claim of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation to the land, which encompasses three million acres in eastern Oklahoma, including most of the city of Tulsa.

                          The decision means that only federal authorities, no longer state prosecutors, can lodge charges against Native Americans who commit serious alleged crimes on that land, which is home to 1.8 million people. Of those people, 15% or fewer are Native Americans.

                            Biden Says He Would Rescind Exemption for Little Sisters of the Poor

                            Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden issued a statement Wednesday evening in which he said he is “disappointed in today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision” in the case Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania.

                            “I will restore the Obama-Biden policy that existed before the [2014 Supreme Court] Hobby Lobby ruling,” Biden said

                              Remember when the Democratic Party was the "God and Country" party?
