Good! Proselytes are becoming far too active. Their "G/god" vs. my G/god. Evangelicals have been undermining the U.S. Constitution since the days of Reagan; worsening with each passing year and decade. Collectively, they are an enemy of our constitutional democratic republic. They want to impose their theocratic ideals upon the rest of us.

Good! No court should EVER be able to require religiously based "training" for anything. It would be cool if the appellate court held the JUDGE in "contempt" for even contemplating it.

I do not and never have believed in a burning bush that talks. Judge Starr is forcing SWA to violate their right of religious freedom by forcing them to attend the bs training. He’s as corrupt as his uncle.

Wouldn't you know it, the Pandora's Box that the wildly expansive re-definition of religious liberty has opened is letting clouds of buzzing, oppressive demons loose in the land. If this precedent is allowed to stand, then anything short of physical violence (maybe, there hasn't been a new case YET to push it past THAT threshold) is allowed to the god-botherers in this country, and defending yourself against their unhinged aggression is unlawful. Hell of a definition of liberty, you ask me. But that is what the Xtian branch of the Taliban has been pushing for from the start, their "right" to harangue and harass all the rest of us for not lining up and signing up to THEIR chosen superstition. Next thing you know, they'll be pushing for a return to legally enforceable universal tithing, with a new sort of theistic IRS to police compliance, aided by an enthusiastic crowd of informers, snoops and busybodies, Gilead, here we come!

Young Judge Starr has no jurisdiction over the schedule for Southwest to seek a stay from the 5th (sigh) circuit. His 30 days may expire but the CA almost certainly will issue its own, of uncertain duration (see social media case) even before or in lieu of a forma stay.

Not on topic here but I would enjoy reading your thoughts on this article if you’re so inclined.
