Lin Wood: Agent From Trumpville

 "I might actually be Christ coming back for a second time in the form of an imperfect man, elevating Christ consciousness." - Lin Wood

This dangerous delusion is what is driving Lin Wood.

Epstein is probably hanging out on JFK Jr's couch with Elvis:

Lin Wood is making Sidney Powell & Rudy Giuliani look like the sane ones.

Trump attorney, Lin Wood, is now attacking the character of members of SCOTUS. Clearly a Trump tactic. 😳

In the last days of Donald Trump the courts are being used as drop boxes to air conspiracy theories and political attacks.

So Far, though getting a beating, the First Amendment still stands

We will see how durable or fragile it is in the upcoming weeks:

Justice Anthony Kennedy in his majority opinion on the same-sex marriage ruling acknowledges this.

“Finally, it must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned..............The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered.”

Chief Justice John Roberts, in his dissent, goes further, reminding the court that religious freedom rights are constitutional — unlike the new right to same-sex marriage: “Many good and decent people oppose same-sex marriage as a tenet of faith, and their freedom to exercise religion is unlike the right imagined by the majority—actually spelled out in the Constitution."

Supreme Court Ruling Does Not Ban the Confederate Flag in Texas or Anywhere Else

In spite of what some misinformed internet users are suggesting.

The Supreme Court determination says that Texas "can" reject a specialty plate with a Confederate flag image. It did not say it "Had" to. Also, it was only about issuing a license plate. No Confederate Flag band. 

•  Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, one of the more conservative members of the country's high court, sided with four liberal justices Thursday in ruling that Texas could reject a specialty license plate featuring an image of the Confederate flag. [Huffington Post]

• The Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision on Thursday that specialty plates convey the state's endorsement of a particular message.

• "Indeed, a person who displays a message on a Texas license plate likely intends to convey to the public that the State has endorsed that message. If not, the individual could simply display the message in question in larger letters on a bumper sticker right next to the plate," wrote Justice Stephen Breyer in the majority opinion, which was shared by Justices Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.

 The dissenting opinions, though, has worthy merit:

• The dissent, authored by Justice Samuel Alito and joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Anthony Kennedy, argued that custom Texas license plates do not imply an endorsement by the state of whatever message the plate carries. The dissent included images of other custom license plates issued by Texas that Alito argued the state doesn't endorse. One plate shows a can of Dr. Pepper, another carries an advertisement for Re/Max, a third is for the University of Notre Dame and a fourth reads "Rather Be Golfing." Alito and his fellow dissenters said it would be unreasonable for people to think that the messages on the plates were endorsed by the state of Texas."If a car with a plate that says 'Rather Be Golfing' passed by at 8:30 am on a Monday morning, would you think: 'This is the official policy of the State -- better to golf than to work?'" the dissent reads. "If you did your viewing at the start of the college football season and you saw Texas plates with the names of the University of Texas’s out-of-state competitors in upcoming games -- Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, the University of Oklahoma, Kansas State, Iowa State -- would you assume that the State of Texas was officially (and perhaps treasonously) rooting for the Longhorns’ opponents? And when a car zipped by with a plate that reads 'NASCAR – 24 Jeff Gordon,' would you think that Gordon (born in California, raised in Indiana, resides in North Carolina) is the official favorite of the State government?"

Supreme Court throws out conviction for Facebook threats

Anthony Elonis was prosecuted under a law banning illegal threats after he posted Facebook rants in the form of rap lyrics about killing his estranged wife, harming law enforcement officials and shooting up a school. The Associated Press is reporting that:

•  The Supreme Court today threw out the conviction of a Pennsylvania man convicted of making threats on Facebook, but dodged the free speech issues that had made the case intriguing to First Amendment advocates. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for seven justices, said it was not enough for prosecutors to show that the comments of Anthony Elonis would make a reasonable person feel threatened. But the court did not specify to lower courts exactly what the standard of proof should be.
