Trump’s activist Supreme Court takes the US to the brink of Christian theocracy
These two judgments are not acts of judicial adventurism or even activism; they have nothing at all to do with the duty or function of being a judge. These judges are actors, in the pejorative sense. They were put in their life-tenure seats on the Supreme Court to do exactly what they’re now fully emboldened to do: remake America as a Christian theocracy.
All constitutional arrangements are fragile, ours as much as America’s. Theirs was built with deep design flaws, which are now being wielded for destructive purpose. The people busily engaged in that project, including the justices currently disgracing their office, have no real interest in democracy. They want to live in the America of their small imaginations: white, straight, patriarchal, Christian and mean.
To put it another way, the racists, misogynists, homophobes and religious bigots have overrun the temple and are busily lighting torches. If they could find a way to get around the 13th Amendment and reinstitute slavery, don’t assume they wouldn’t.
This is my opinion.
I believe the media is going to use the overturning of Roe v Wade as a launchpad to attack the Christian Church. They are laying the groundwork for their argument that Christians are the problem. Bible believing Christians are the reason why "reasonable people" are having rights taken from them. As the article infers, Christianity is full of white, straight, patriarchal, racist, misogynists who are homophobic and racist. So (Bible Believing) Christians and their God are to blame and they need to be shut down (so a new more palatable false teaching can be embraced).
I believe we are about to see an attack on the Church unlike anything we have ever seen in this modern age.
This is just my opinion.
