Scott Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 On Monday, The Guardian reported that former members of Justice Amy Coney Barrett's controversial Christian organization, "People of Praise," are demanding that she recuse herself from an upcoming case which could create further exemptions for businesses to discriminate against LGBTQ people on religious grounds. "The former members are part of a network of 'survivors' of the controversial charismatic group who say Barrett’s 'lifelong and continued' membership in the People of Praise make her too biased to fairly adjudicate an upcoming case that will decide whether private business owners have a right to decline services to potential clients based on their sexual orientation," reported Stephanie Kirchgaessner. "They point to Barrett’s former role on the board of Trinity Schools Inc, a private group of Christian schools that is affiliated with the People of Praise and, in effect, barred admission to children of same-sex parents from attending the school." https://www.rawstory.com/amy-coney-barrett-2658727784/?cx_testId=4&cx_testVariant=cx_undefined&cx_artPos=3&cx_experienceId=EXC93HV4HK4I#cxrecs_s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an politician and judge, you have sworn in to protect minority’s rights and protect them from discrimination. Many or the majority is not always right when it comes to democratic terms and ruling. Seems most misunderstand what a democracy truly is. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placeholder Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The thing is, Coney Barrett wasn't just a Catholic. She's a member of a dubious cult within the Catholic Church. She was raised in that cult. When she went to University, she lived in the home of the cult leader. And then she married a fellow member of the cult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the United States we are governed by civil law not religious law the concern many have is she is unduly influenced by her strong religious belief 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American politicians end their speeches with something like: "God bless America" In theory there should be a separation. But it seems in real life many of those bible thumpers would never even dream about voting for somebody who is not openly supporting Christianity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 This christian organization seems to be more on the ball than SCOTUS Chief Justice John Roberts, whose new year message can be summarized as tone deaf. https://www.theguardian.com/law/2023/jan/01/supreme-court-john-roberts-report-abortion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
