Well, at least Justice Roberts is consistent on the subject of religious freedom — 10 Comments
The constant reinterpretation of the plain language of the constitution is horrifying. This is an example of what i mentioned in yesterdays post. We have basically zero legal recourse when it comes to the ever expanding “pandemic” measures.
Anyone who may be conservative but not religious should recognize that this decision has less to do with religion per se than with slowly eroding the freedoms guaranteed to the citizens of this republic (which, until very recently, almost no-one truly believed were in real danger). Freedom of speech (for conservatives) is under severe threat at universities and in corporations throughout the country while, should the senile and corrupt Biden manage a victory in November, the right to bear arms will certainly be curtailed. Leftists hunger for power and control and, sensing imminent victory, will stop at nothing to change from “soft” into “hard’ totalitarians in their desire for “fundamental transformation.”
Other than the Wisconsin Supreme Court has there been any legislature or court that has put up any fight against these governors? A couple religious freedom cases in the south I think but that’s about it.
This is what is so depressing about all this and why these lockdowns were so incredibly wrong.
The man (?) is worse than a Ginsburg. There is something doubly vile about sneaky conniving turncoats. At least with her, you got precisely what it said on the box.
They’d better get a move on and find something in their Living Constitution that says that trees and lamp posts are unconstitutional.
The man is a turncoat. He, as one man, has caused the USA more harm than a Holder or an Obama.
If we are lucky enough to be blessed and survive November, we shall have to undo stare decisis.
The country is about to descend into the very worst of hands. And Roberts will be in the cheering section.
I still think he’s being blackmailed. His decisions are too… Strange, for Jack of a better term. I’d’ve thought once his kids were eighteen, he’d be able to no longer be blackmail-able, but they should be nicer nineteen or twenty now. So as long as Jarrett is blackmailing him, I guess were stuck.

That’s the trigger wire for Civil War ll. The 2nd Amendment’s “right to bear arms” is the Constitution’s bulwark against tyranny. If we don’t stand upon that rampart, representative “government of the people, by the people and for the people” is over and the world enters another dark age. And given today’s and tomorrow’s technology… it may endure for a thousand years or more.
“At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.” Abraham Lincoln
This is what happens when you keep contesting the Service to Other Light polarity. You end up on the other side, somehow.
GB, the Republic is dead. Has been for some time. It’s over. Now what begins is either the thousand year 4th reich in which breeders produce children for child torturers, or the Utopia predicted by prophets of YHVH where bad souls go into a “lake of fire”.
Either one, is apocalyptic, or rather requires an apocalypse, revelation, disclosure. Apocalypse does not mean end of the world, it means revelation and disclosure of the TRUTH. Truth which human slaves have not encountered here or elsewhere.
In truth, you will get the timeline you deserve or choose. If you want an endless war against the Cabal… you can have it. If you want utopia and the Golden Age, you can have that too. But not at the same time.
This is truth, yet you cannot comprehend why. Because all you know is Earth ego. Why did I say Civi lWar 2 was inevitable?

I get that Roberts as a matter of preference, wishes to make the court appear non-partisan and wants more consensus decisions arriving at 9/0, 8/1, 7/2 vs more contentious 5/4 splits.
This decision doesn’t achieve that. It was a 5/4 split on what should have been an easy call. Nevada can’t overcome the burden of strict scrutiny. This isn’t new or controversial ground being ploughed.
Even though their was no opinion written to accompany the decision, so no easily cited precedent was created, that makes it worse. IMO, if the court is going to ignore decades of precedent then they have an obligation to explain why.
The lack of any explanation with the ruling leaves a void. That void can only be filled with the reality that the court can’t make a reasonable argument or explanation in support of their decision. Thus, the court has made a politicized decision decision without opinion that is contrary to precedent.
I look forward to Roberts applying the same logic in a future abortion case, overturning Roe by a 5/4 split without opinion. Let’s see if he can be consistent, I doubt it.
Sarcasm aside, this is the court endorsing executive acts undertaken by use of ’emergency’ powers several months into the ’emergency’. Will the same deference for executive action be granted to the Federal executive invoking emergency powers? If not, why not?
The totality of the circumstances of this decision makes this, IMO, the single worst decision of the Roberts Court. It is indefensible.
I think that last question was kind of rhetorical sarcasm.
Another, more succinct, observation:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof but a state governor has the option of stopping any religious observance if they choose to do so.
Fixed the constitution for Roberts, he can thank me later for it.
FWIW, I don’t buy the adoption blackmail theory; too many people KNOW about it. Maybe there are incriminating photographs somewhere — everybody probably has one somewhere — but more likely he is of the substantial faction of “conservatives” who are actually “liberals” on some issues.
And confused about others.
Apply Occam’s Razor to Roberts. There is no need to invoke blackmail (by whom? to what ends?) or other hidden motives. The guy has a nonfunctional moral compass. Plus, he does not give a sh*t for his fellow Americans. It’s all right there, laid out before us; no need to look for “root causes”.

LI commenter mentions an aspect I’ve seen on other boards (I would call it “choreographed bipartisan consensus neutrality” although it’s only the first of those).
