The U.S. Supreme Court has cemented its reputation as a friend to Christian conservatives with a trio of rulings embracing religious exemptions to certain federal laws and paving the way for public money to go to religious schools.

The court, which has a 5-4 conservative majority, in recent years has embraced an expansive view of religious liberties in cases involving government funds going to religious entities and permitting religious symbols on public land. The three recent rulings build on that. Carrie Severino, a conservative legal activist who advocates in support of Trump’s judicial nominees and had been critical of the court’s LGBT ruling, wrote on Twitter, “Great day for religious liberty at the Court today.”

Rienzi noted that the pair of 7-2 rulings, with two of the court’s four liberals in each case joining the conservative justices, indicated some consensus on religious liberty cases. The Montana schools ruling was a boost to conservative Christian activists - including Trump’s education secretary Betsy DeVos - who have long sought the expansion of “school choice” programs that allow public funds to pay for students to attend religious schools rather than secular public schools.

Theocracy. American Taliban

I do not want my tax dollars to fund their religious Jesus schools if they want to deny coverage for birth control based on Th wit religious beliefs. You can’t have it both ways, Christians.

Oops! As a former Chairman of the Senate’s Judiciary Committee, you thoughts, Joe Biden, on the US Supreme Court’s trio of ruling regarding Religious Liberty?
