"The will of the people" can be twisted to some pretty nefarious ends.

It's pretty cut and dry. Keep religion out of schools means all damn religion.

which church would she like to be in charge? if the Lutherans (ELCA) get to run things it's party time! if the baptists are in charge, not so much......

So now that the GOP set it’s sights on rolling back rights for homosexuals who here is still going to pull that gop level? Anyone here think they don’t deserve the same rights as heterosexuals?

Just overturning precedent wherever you look. Stare decisis my assis.
A state employee should have the right to pray, but they shouldn't be doing it on the public's dime. It's not like you're holding games and pausing for the Maghrib so you "have" to pray right then. Under this ruling, I could start every hour of class by standing in front of the room and praying the rosary.

No, you could not. As explained by the Court, "The contested exercise before us does not involve leading prayers with the team or before any other captive audience." "Mr. Kennedy did not seek to direct any prayers to students or require anyone else to participate."

If the Court followed polls, then it never would have ruled the way it did in Roe in the first place. And the Court never would have struck down "separate but equal" in Brown, because that decision was unpopular. So was Miranda. Who the eff wants to give criminal scum "get out of jail free" cards?

The whole reason that all federal judges have tenure during "good behavior" is so they don't have to pay attention to polls.

Please. The only "hack" thing about the judges or their decisions is that you disagree with them on the outcome.

Half of the country apparently went to "internet law school" over the last three days.

Solid legal reasoning could be given on either side of most of these issues. Hell, you could give a solid interpretation of 2A that restricts guns. If that was the case, you would vehemently disagree, but would it be a invalid disagreement?
