There can be no doubt that the Fascist Five Injustices of SCROTUS (Republican Constitutional VD) are intent on undermining the Constitution, democracy, and human rights.  However, it\u2019s rare for Republicans to be so obvious as to broadcast their intent.  Antonin \u201cSchutzstaffel\u201d Scalia went even further than that.  He rubbed our nose in it.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"ScaliaHat\"Yesterday, Antonin Scalia gave away the game [Moonie Republicans delinked<\/em>].<\/font><\/p>\n

Speaking at Colorado Christian University, he said:<\/font><\/p>\n

I think the main fight is to dissuade Americans from what the secularists are trying to persuade them to be true: that the separation of church and state means that the government cannot favor religion over nonreligion.<\/font><\/p>\n

I mean, we all knew he believes this. (And so does Thomas.) But the fact that he admits it so baldly — that he doesn’t care that his minority opinion is out there for everyone to laugh at — is still stunning. Not only does he believe that government should<\/em><\/span> favor religion over non-religion, but his interpretation of the First Amendment gives no quarter to the irreligious at all<\/em><\/span>. <\/font><\/p>\n

And we’re stuck with him until he gives up the ghost.<\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat can they do to me? I have life tenure,\u201d Justice Scalia said. \u201cIt\u2019s even better than academic tenure.\u201d<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To be clear, as I Christian (authentic, not Republican Supply-side Pseudo), I don\u2019t have a dog in this hunt, as he is not discriminating against me.  However, authentic Christians honor and coexist with those with other religious beliefs including Atheists.  If anything, Atheism requires more faith to believe than any other religion, so they certainly deserve the same religious rights as the rest of us.  Scalia\u2019s blatant rejection of their religious rights is clearly unconstitutional.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
