This case might be the best example of how the conservative majority on the Court just doesn’t give a shit about anything that looks like reality.

The story of the praying Bremerton coach keeps getting more surreal
The school district says it’s trying to rehire the former coach — after being ordered to do so — but he’s on the political circuit and hasn’t called them back.

When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that Bremerton assistant football coach Joseph Kennedy had the right to pray on the field, it wasn’t widely understood then that the court had also ordered the school district to give him his job back.

The day of the ruling, Fox News host Sean Hannity expressed doubts the district would follow through. But one of Kennedy’s lawyers clarified that they had no choice: “We’re ready to have that fight. If they want to defy the Supreme Court, I think they’re gonna realize they made a serious mistake.”

Kennedy was sunnier about it all.

“As soon as the school district says ‘Hey, come back,’ I am there, first flight,” he said.

So the school district has been flummoxed about what’s happened since. They complied by offering to reinstate him, they say, and now the football season is in full swing. But Kennedy is nowhere near the sidelines.

“He’s had the paperwork for his reinstatement since August 8th, and we haven’t gotten so much as a phone call,” says Karen Bevers, spokesperson for Bremerton schools.

These grifters are such a waste of space. We'd be so much better off if these extremists just poofed away.

1. Wow, the whole case was a scam

The Religiously Insane Court made up, lied about and played along with a scam and perpetrate a hoax on the American people. And that little turd Coach Joe made big bucks off this hoax the Supremes played along with.

No wonder the Supremes are looked on with ridicule and scorn. Using lies to rule on a case that never happened is not law or even a real ruling by a real court.

4. Pence's Running Mate? Are You Implying Pence Will Win The Nomination?

He'll be lucky to stay in the race past the first few primaries.

6. Just an attempt at humor, Lol

Although guys like this “Coach Joe” are just the type that might run for office of some kind in the future for the Republican Party. A religious football coach that won a case against a public school,for public prayer. What’s not for them to like …

3. Kool! NOW you can fire him for not showing up for work.

He’s getting his balls waxed and polished by the “Christian” Reich - and he sure doesn’t want off that gravy train!

5. The Subversive 6 on the Extreme Court do not care about the U.S. Constitution.

Religious freedom means that there can be no laws created favoring a religion. The Extreme Court creates rulings that favor a particular religion over any and all others, including non-religion.

The unconstitutional Extreme Court must be diluted or disbanded.

8. SCOTUS didn't want Truth to get in the way of their Religion

It's not about politics, it's about religion. That's what Coach Joe wants to teach all his "boys".
