SCOTUS, Now with KBJ

None of what he said should be privileged. He can plead the 5th, but as of now, it looks like all of this is falling at his feet.

Found the decision. Yeah, with this Court that would be expected. We're going to destroy the public school system. We're almost there now.

The legislative alternative is for Maine to make the vouchers only available to other public schools and eliminate their ability to be used for any private school. Not sure how likely they would be to do that.

Out of the 18 left to decide, I'd characterize these as the major ones left:

NY Rifle: gun control
Dobbs: abortion
Kennedy: religion in public schools
Biden v Texas: remain in Mexico policy

Could be major depending on ruling:
Carson: tuition assistance for religious schools
WVa v EPA: scope of agency power
Berger: Right of legislators to intervene in court cases

Carson came out today, but none of the other 4 were major. So 13 left, including all the other major ones. next opinions coming Thursday.

Court doing the most to tear down separation of church and state, as sotomayor noted in her dissent today

I think that claim by her is a bit over the top, for what was done.

The dissent would basically take the position that there can be zero public dollars, ever, in any way, flowing to a church or religious organization, because doing so establishes a religion in violation of the constitution. I don't think that's true.

For instance, if a municipal utility offers a rebate check for any property owner that installs an energy efficient furnace, must all churches and church schools be forbidden from participating because doing so would establish a religion? No way.

That's what happened in Maine. Maine has school districts where it has no schools (seems like a very Maine thing to do). So Maine law says that students in those districts can choose any school they'd like to attend, and their home district will then pay for it. The school just has to be accredited.

But, oh by the way, schools with religious affiliations need not apply, even though they are accredited.

Letting the student choose that school and having district money go to it, as opposed to some other school, isn't establishing any religion.

In a shocking turn of events Kavanaugh sided with insurance companies. Cause, why not?

Here is what Health Care is in the United States.

"We know health care can seem complicated, but with your new GoFundMe PPO, it doesn’t have to be. Once you’ve hit your deductible and out-of-pocket max, Blue Cross will automatically launch your GoFundMe campaign, so you can get the coverage you need."
