So, this is blatantly and egregiously unconstitutional, right?
It is, but the constitution is just a piece of paper that the Republicans hate with unrivaled passion.
A 6-3 Supreme Court majority says it isn’t.
I mean, they haven't said that yet. While the current supreme court have made some genuinely insane rulings, they've generally at least made the pretence of trying to square everything they're doing with the constitution, albeit often in very strained or roundabout ways. I'm not sure if they'll be able to find a way to justify this (but I'm not ruling it out either).
They could justify it with the Chewbacca Defence, possibly replacing Star Wars names with arcane Latin legalese terms.

Yeah my only hope with some of this shit is that Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett actually have convictions and principles that they stand by (as horrible as those may be) and aren't willing to completely destroy the Republic in exchange for expensive vacations with a billionaire.
Not holding my breath though.
So is everything else he's doing but it doesn't seem to matter.
Creating an anti-religious-hate office is not, as long as it protects all religions equally. I don't think that's what this will do.
Sure, but to target "anti-christian bias" looks like being oddly specific about the religion you want to protect.
Yeah, but they're explicitly saying it's only to protect Christianity, so that throws that defense right out the window.
And who's going to enforce that? Surely Amy Handmaid Barrett and company will get right on that.
Ain't no hate like Christian love.
Wow America! You really are doing everything in your hand to become a new medieval monarchy.
You have the absolutist king, the feudal lords, the hate towards any progress...
You were missing the inquisition. WERE.
We're apparently trying to speedrun European history into 4 years or less, but in reverse, and ending in the dark ages.
Yup. Trump already named immigrants the Jews of the Black Death.
I have to say I'm impressed. You got almost there in less than a month. Right now you're missing a crusade (although the turd is working very hard on that front to "celebrate" it asap) and... maybe the public and gruesome executions, but I'm sure with enough hard work you can get there before the next year.
No one expects the Ameriklan Inquisition!
I'm too lazy to post the image, but I can imagine
Monty Python was / is great.
"Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless inefficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, and surprise, and ruthless inefficiency...and a fanatical devotion to Donald Trump... Our four...no... Amongst our weapons... Amongst our weaponry... are such elements as fear, surprise... I'll come in again."
They are treating him like King David, this goes further back than even medieval!
Inb4 they claim science has anti Christian biases
They've been saying that all along, haven't they? These are the same people that think "teach the controversy" is a good slogan to repeat over...checks notes....evolution?
Fuck you and your religion.
Remember how the radical right, most especially of the more Randroid type was saying that talking about Gilead states was hyperbole and hysterical, etc...?
Then they reversed 50 years of Roe. And now this insane piece of shit is back in the office, throwing red meat to the crazies that think this is a xtian nation (or that it should be one).
And this is when things get truely crazy. You ain't seen nothing yet.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
"Good news, Trump doesn't want Congress to have any power anyway!"
Dear US,
wishing you a quiet revolution down the road to clean up this mess
Sincerely, a Quebecer
Thank you. I'm wishing the same for myself and my fellow not-pants-on-head-crazy people in this madhouse.
Yours,
- Your downstairs, and trapped in a failed meth-lab of a country, neighbor
The Inquisition? Nobody expected that.
It's kinda fun time travelling back a hundred years. Oh wait. No, no it isn't.
This is more of a 600 year regression to pre-Renaissance if we're being honest.
Yes but there is someone from within the last 100 years that he reminds people of
as with everything else, they'll leave the definition of "christian" absurdly vague in order to define it however they please in a given situation. then they'll go out to any actual christian churches who are accepting of "other" instead of discriminating against them, and charge them with being "unchristian/unamerican," force them to update their beliefs to hate gays/blacks/women/etc
get ready for mandatory church attendance and tithes at a govt approved jesus center
If mandatory church attendance is in the pipeline, so is a large uptick in church shootings.
Give every church attendant a gun so they can defend themselves and problem solved!
When did he last go to church?
During the BLM/George Floyd protests. There are photos.
When's the last time he went in a church though.
The time he held his favourite book upside down
Where does the Mayflower sail to now?
just to clarify, the Mayflower was full of puritans, who were being "persecuted" by being told they couldn't force their extremely narrow bigotry onto everyone else around them.
So, honestly, I'm all for shipping the zealots of to someplace else. They can leave the rest of us alone.
Trouble is there's not really any lands that some nation wouldn't object to a bunch of crazies being dropped off in. So either we'll need to ship them up to the moon, or force them to start working on atlantis.
Israel? They'd definitely object, but who cares at this point?
They can colonize Mars, along with fElon.
Florida to Texas region for warmer climate conservatives and Idaho to Dakotas/ for colder climate conservatives. You can bridge the two through Kansas and Oklahoma to Texas.
