Graham decision, which directly parallels the current situation in Louisiana. He also discusses the significant impact of the "McConnell Court" and the troubling rise of Christian nationalism.

      The scariest single line from that show for me was "You have been found guilty of violating Leviticus 18:22..." (Not sure which actual verse was used in the script but hearing a judge in a courtroom say that sent shivers down my spine.

    Should school teachers be allowed or required to post the part of the Treaty of Tripoli of 1997 that said the United States is not in any sense based on the Christian religion?
    I verified that the Treaty is genuine.

      The treaty is genuine. That phrase is in the version the Senate ratified 30-0. That said, it is nowhere in the Arabic version, and seems to be entirely Barlow's invention. Well, he fooled John Adams and the entire Senate.

      America decided not to pay the tribute and beat Tripoli with its navy, and the 1804 treaty does say that the US has no established church. I should also note that Article 11 is skipped in the Arabic version of the 1797 treaty; the final article is numbered 12.

    Exercising your religious beliefs should have boundaries that fit within the lawful boundaries of peace and order. Utah tends not to enforce it's own laws when it comes to bigamy. Then again many polygamist's have figured out how to practice bigamy within lawful boundaries. Also many law enforcement officials in Utah are practicing Mormons. Mormons sincerely believe that practicing bigamy fits within the lawful boundaries of peace and order. Mormons are exercising their religious beliefs, so law enforcement overlooks people that "practice" polygamy, because of the "free" exercise clause? Not sure the secular benefit of polygamy though? But yes like you I can see SCOTUS upholding Louisiana's Ten Commandments Law...because why not...who cares about freedoms and liberties?

      The only reason it even enacted those laws was to become a state.
