(36,747 posts)This is how to mitigate the damage done by this illegitimate court.
Just tweak the law and reissue it.

(52,166 posts)I highly doubt the liberals would consider joining one upholding this policy and they likely won't need them. The fact is, they clearly believe 'But Jesus' is a get out of having to follow the law card. Look at all the COVID cases they decided on the shadow document in that regard. I hope I am wrong but highly doubt it.

(108,234 posts)AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Religious schools got what they wanted when the Supreme Court allowed them to participate in a state tuition program.
But the state attorney general said the ruling will be for naught unless the schools are willing to abide by the same antidiscrimination law as other private schools that participate in the program.
An attorney for the families criticized the knee-jerk comments, and the leader of a religious group predicted further litigation.
-snip-
Attorney General Aaron Frey said both Christian schools involved in the lawsuit have policies that discriminate against students and staff on a basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, preventing their participation in the tuition program despite the hard-fought litigation.

They believe they have a Gawd given right to discriminate.

I did a keyword search prior to posting (using "Maine) but didn't find any matches. spanone used the title "A little good news".
But good to see all the love for the approach Maine is taking to get around the now extremely partisan SCOTUS.

(6,213 posts).....exempt from the gambling laws of the states my guess would be anti-abortion laws would also be exempt.
They are a "nation unto themselves".
Just a thought.
