Hang in there RBG, we desperately need to keep you on the bench. These close votes on religious issues will be at a tipping point with one more Trump appointee...
WTF are the 4 thinking about
I'm all for church/state separation, but the 'flat 50' vs 50% difference seems arbitrary to me.
@FearlessFly It's not arbitrary. If you brought a case like that to a supreme court in Europe you would lose by a 100% majority. In fact we had a case brought to the supreme court in Ireland arguing that the government had no right to restrict our movements and the Judges unaimously threw the case out and said they were just attention seekers
. . . hmmm, a 5 - 4 split, seems to me like both 'sides' are splitting hairs on this one.
Very common, actually, these splits.
@AnneWimsey I'm all for church/state separation, but the 'flat 50' vs 50% difference seems arbitrary to me.
