This morning we told you about Pillow CEO Mike Lindells razzledazzle lawsuit against the January 6 Select Committee.
Hes alleging that a subpoena for his cellphone metadata is a gross violation of his freedom of religion, because his 2020 election integrity activities are motivated, in part, by his strongly held religious beliefs. Also the people who listen to him shout about Chinese hackers and Dominion Voting Systems and his amazing lawsuit, which is forever two weeks from landing at the Supreme Court, are also motived by their Christian faith. And so it is illegal to look at his phone records.
On top of which, Mike Lindell is also a journalist because he makes movies about the election but not in a Jesus way, in a just the facts, maam way, because journalism is VRY SRS BZNS. And so he is entitled to First Amendment protections as a bona fide member of the press.
Quit rolling your eyes! This is very important Constitution stuff, and not at all the ravings of a pillow pumping maniac throwing nonsense at the federal docket in hopes that something might stick long enough for Republicans to take back the House and end the inquiry into the events of January 6, 2021.

(5,499 posts)If you remember, he argued that a sitting president cannot break the law because everything he does is for the good of the country.
I think he'll say that a person guided by their religious beliefs cannot break the law because their religious beliefs are constitutionally protected.
I don't think Alan is a well person.

(15,287 posts)Have turned our Judicial Branch into a fucking clown show.
Everybody now thinks they can file whatever ridiculous lawsuit they can dream up in their fucking fantasy world, write it down in crayon on a dinner napkin, file it, and some worthless Federalist Society fuckstick will take it up.
Are there no punishments for wasting serious peoples time?

(90,758 posts)Don't they always claim religion as the reason for their behavior?
I can't bake a cake because - religion.
I won't take a Covid-19 vaccine because - religion.
You must tolerate my hate because - religion.
I must have special rights because - religion. (if you're demanding the "right" to discriminate against others you are indeed asking for a special right since you are seeking legal protection from the consequences of your bigotry)
Books banned because - religion
Wooden spoons used on children because - religion
I must be able to control your body because - religion
I must be able to control your actions because - religion
(But) You can't have a say about my actions because - religion
