Supreme Court rules against challenge to religious school aid

[still_one]

"The Supreme Court of the United States ruled Monday against a challenge to tax aid to religious schools in Arizona.

In the 5 to 4 decision , the court ruled that taxpayers cannot challenge government scholarship programs that direct money to religious activities. The Supreme Court said the taxpayers who challenged the program lacked standing to bring the case.

"This misguided ruling betrays the public school system by directing tax dollars to religious schools," Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United, said. "The court, with the full support of the Obama administration, has slammed the courthouse door in the face of Americans who don’t want their tax dollars to subsidize religion."

...

"The Obama administration argued in favor of the program and the Solicitor General’s Office at the U.S. Department of Justice requested and was granted 10 minutes to argue in favor of the plan."

1. "Lacked standing to bring the case" because it was a tax cut

The 5 in the SCOTUS want to make a precedence out of this, having the people who get tax cuts become our castes above us little people.

They should not be called judges.
