WND Column: Supreme Court Rulings On LGBT Equality, Church-State Separation Are Tyrannical

[Initech]

Religious Right author Jerry Newcombe said in a WND column this week that the Supreme Court and other “activist courts” have “helped turn America into a moral swamp.”

We have noted before that the Religious Right has been nursing a half-century grudge against the Supreme Court for rulings on school desegregation, separation of church and state, abortion and equality for LGBTQ people, and Newcombe’s column is an exemplar of the complaints that Religious Right activists hope will be solved by President Trump and Senate Republicans replacing Justice Anthony Kennedy with someone who shares their worldview.

“Who died and made the Supreme Court God?” Newcombe asked. He said the Supreme Court “has taken upon itself more power than King George III could possibly have lusted after,” saying that Kennedy “often experienced such power.”

Among the rulings Newcombe cites as examples of the Supreme Court’s “tyrannical” actions are rulings against official prayer, the posting of the Ten Commandments and devotional Bible reading in public schools and “equal time for creation science” in classrooms.

Roe v. Wade is on the list, of course, along with the Supreme Court’s marriage equality ruling in Obergefell. But Newcombe also slams rulings that protected the basic rights of LGBTQ people, including Romer v. Evans, which held that that states could not single out gay people for disfavored treatment under the law, and Lawrence v. Texas, which overturned state sodomy laws that made gay people de facto criminals.

Man these guys are going off the deep end. You know who really is the moral swamp? The fucking Christian right.

1. They're desperate

Their movement is running out of gas, slowly but surely, and they realize it. Younger generations are not so readily signing up for their hateful agenda. And why would they, when they can take out their phones & tablets and debunk in a few minutes the BS being thrown at them.

Since the Religious Right can't get people to join up like they once did and maintain their social power that way, they want to use the government to destroy any opposition to their disgusting agenda.

They want to have the power to force kids in schools to follow their religion.

They want to remove the ability of women to control their own bodies and be subservient to men.

They want to drive gay people back into the closet and brand them as criminals for just being alive.

And more.
