...and the Christians will claim they're being shackled, enslaved, and oppressed!

Patriotism triumphs over parochialism.

Let me get this straight. "In asking the Supreme Court to hear the case, lawyers for Haskell County said the Tenth Circuit’s decision conflicted with earlier Ten Commandments rulings in the Eighth and Ninth Circuits." Even worse, "...the full Tenth Circuit...appeals court deadlocked 6 to 6" which means this legal precedent is actually established by a panel, by people who got asked to rule as opposed to who didn't? Yet the other side has decisions made by majority decisions, not tie votes with a coin toss? And when conflict gives rise to equal but opposite rulings, the Supreme Court is supposed to decide the issue, to prevent legal chaos. Yet the Supreme Court ducked! Now both sides can challenge, citing existing precedents, until our legal system is completely split into two parts. And I thought Congress had the monopoly on gridlock!

Supreme Court, nice going! Now all three branches of the federal government can't lead!

I am surprised by this ruling but pleasantly so.

Please stop trying to cram your beliefs down my throat. There is enough hypocrisy in our society without flaunting it. Thank you SCOTUS for defending the other side too.
