It amazes me that the fringe on both sides still gets anxious over Roe v. Wade in 2018.  

 

The Supreme Court isn't going to touch that case ever again, regardless of who is on it.  They aren't in the business of overturning one of their own decisions.  It'd be like rewriting a chapter of the Bible to "reflect modern viewpoints."  

 

it will definitely be overturned and sent back to the states

 

and won't make a hill of beans of difference as it's already decided by each state

I have Lawrence v. Texas on line 1 for you.

And the Episcopalian Church holding on line 2.

you think bablylonbee.com isn't satire?

 

 

 

Satire that is far too close to reality on occasion.

 

The Episcopalian Church no longer resembles the historic, orthodox faith.  Hyperbole aside, that is my point, which I thought was easily recognized.

I used to agree that they would never touch Roe v. Wade again, but I'm reconsidering.

have they lost congregations that are fed up with them?

 

 

 

There are several "Anglican" churches that have split off as they disagreed with the slide towards theological liberalism in the Anglican communion.  The ACNA, for example, is made up of conservative former members of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada.

same as up here in our Anglican churches, property rights were the big concern but the orthodox said whatever and left anyway.

The silly season is upon us again

 

FTA:

 

Years ago, David Brock alleged that Brett Kavanaugh, now under consideration for the Supreme Court, saw Hillary Clinton on television during a party in 1997, and mouthed the word “B word.” I don’t know whether to believe Brock, but the word might not have been inconsistent with Kananaugh’s thinking — if not two decades ago then one decade, when Hillary tried mightily to keep him from being confirmed as a federal appellate judge.

 

The word also might not be inconsistent with the thinking of a large number of Senators from both parties.

 

I mention Brock’s allegation because it has been revived — a sure sign that the silly, albeit deadly serious, season of another judicial confirmation struggle is upon us. Off-hand comments a candidate may (or may not) have made at a party more than 20 years ago become fair game. Associates who were mentored by a candidate and who followed him from one job to another can allege, years after the fact, that the candidate engaged in sexual harassment. The allegation will enter, and very likely dominate, the debate over the nominee.

BIGOT much? MSNBC analyst botches possible SCOTUS justice Amy Barrett’s name, sneers that she’s ‘VERY Catholic’

 

Can you imagine the fit the Left would throw if Obama had nominated a Muslim for the SCOTUS and some ‘analyst’ on Fox News said he or she was ‘very Muslim’? They’d be screeching about bigot this and Islamaphobia that …

 

But since Amy Barrett is a possible Trump SCOTUS nominee that apparently makes her faith an ok thing to go after.

Religious litmus tests are all the rage, don't-cha-know.

 

This just serves to demonstrate how far the left has moved beyond the years of JFK, who himself was attacked for his Catholic faith.

In which case, it's all red carpet, all the time.

JFK basically stated that his "faith" would have nothing to do with his governing

 

that could go at least two ways:

 

1)  that his "faith" really had zero bearing on his life and conscience, in all effects he was basically an atheist

 

2) his faith meant something personally and he could detach it from political decisions.

 

the Dems have tried to torque this strategy into righteousness since then, it is drastically failing now in the face of modernism and atheism that is predominant in the party.

Obama ran into something like this when his Pastor was apparently giving extreme Anti-America sermons for the 20 years of "membership"

 

The media looked the other way completely, they probably understood that he really didn't care a hoot what was going on, if he bothered to honestly attend in the first place.

Based on his personal behavior, I would go with this one.
