@danirabbit@mastodon.online Ok, this impacts my children, so I am as concerned as anyone. However, I offer a ray of hope here. The only reason this woman is the front of the case is because the christofascists claim she has standing. It's complicated, and I can't really explain it well...but basically, she's lost at every court, local, state and district. There is very, very little chance the Supremes will take this case because it is so weak, and because the christofascists on the court want to be able to overturn Oberfell, but this case wouldn't touch that decision.
This case would only touch on the right of civil servants to refuse to obey the law because of "religious beliefs".
I'm not saying it's good. It's a camel's nose under the tent, and everything these orgs do needs to be watched, but legal scholars think this is more about making people afraid and traumatized than it is actual legal standing.

Conservative professors and the like have been ranting about how it's terrible case law ever since it was written. And to be fair, Kennedy's justification and legal reasoning was ... Not the greatest. While I obviously agree with the outcome, he really should have made more defensible arguments. But it's not like the conservative justices have bothered with writing coherent justified case law in recent years anyway. So I just accept that the SCOTUS blatantly acts as a super-legislature these days.
