A New York statute targeting Chick-fil-A for its Christian faith turns American history—and Constitutional law—upside down. The “Rest Stop Restaurant Act” seeks to compel food service providers to stay open seven days a week in publicly-owned rest areas and other facilities, or be denied contracts to provide services.
If you’ve forgotten who Peter Vlaming is, he’s a French Teacher in Virginia who (in 2018) was removed for refusing to address a Transgender student by their preferred gender/pronoun. Vlaming was accused of bullying and discrimination and let go. He sued on religious and free speech grounds.
My first question, after reading the headline “Court rejects Satanic Temple’s claim that Texas abortion ban violates ‘religious freedom,’” was, does the left want these folks playing so publicly on their team? Satanists are claiming that aborting babies is a religious right (by which they must mean rite).
You know, for a guy who appears to be warming up his engine for a run at the white house (as a Republican), he is missing a lot of free meals. By that, I mean opportunities to hook Republicans from a primary voting base that shies away from CNN or CNBC.
UNH typically gets good marks from groups like FIRE for free speech that, in my opinion, they do not deserve. UNH may put policies in writing that sell a commitment to open and free expression, but the entire campus culture stands on the intolerance baked into identity politics.
Maine passed a law abrogating religious exemptions for childhood immunizations. Passed before the Chinese Flu Plandemic, it became effective in 2021 and has since cut the number of exemption requests in half. We’ve posited that this is an unconstitutional violation, and now we may have some backup.
So much happens that it is easy to miss things. Like a new Maine law signed in 2019 that removed Religious or Philosophical Objections to “Immunization.” This predated COVID, but after experiencing how the “government” handled that, is anyone else concerned?
On June 10, 2014, NH Governor Maggie Hassan, now a US Senator, signed an unconstitutional buffer zone bill into law that allows an abortion business to designate up to 25 feet of the public sidewalk and street as a no-free-speech zone where even silent prayer is banned.
Seacoast Online is reporting that SAU16 has expended more than $28,000 in legal costs in less than six months. I’ve been wondering how much money they were spending on legal services to defend all of the court cases filed in this district.
Pro-government factions are using this Coronavirus to constrain the people. Not temporarily, but forever. These are not necessary measures to address a crisis. They are test runs for foundational policy—a new Constitution of constraint.
