SCOTUS Takes Two Giant Steps Toward Turning USA Into a Xian Theocracy

Today, the SCOTUS took two giant steps toward realizing the Christian wet dream of turning the USA into a Christian theocracy.

By allowing parts of tRump's bigoted Muslim travel ban to stand until the case is decided in full, the SCOTUS has added their considerable weight to allowing discrimination against a particular religion and its adherents in the USA. That religion is not the Christian religion. Sadly, the SCOTUS has provided gravitas to a non-issue that was cooked up as a campaign talking point to entice racists and religious bigots to vote for Donald tRump.

In a separate ruling, the SCOTUS conferred preferential treatment to a Christian church, ruling that said non-tax-paying entity was entitled to receive taxpayer monies with which to make capital improvements on their privately held property.

Overt discrimination in one ruling, overt preferential treatment in another, with both rulings based on religion.

Our country is heading down the crapper, and fast.
