My guess: Prayer in school will return next year

[Algernon Moncrieff]

Even if Biden wins, this court seems clearly poised to undo most of the Warren Court. Obviously the 10 Commandments Louisiana rule and the Oklahoma admonition that the Bible must be taught in schools will be challenged, but it now seems likely they would be upheld 6-3.

Other cases I expect conservative states to push to revisit include Miranda (being read your rights on arrest) and Gideon (entitled to a defense attorney).

1. That is the least of our problems. Yeah, I 'm Jewish. I could deal with the christian prayer. I can't

deal with so many more horrific things that seem to be on the way.

13. I'm not sure I agree forced religious indoctrination is the least of our problems

I think it's a part of a much bigger problem.

2. The students could have some fun resisting

Perhaps doing Hari Krishna chants during prayer time, or going into ecstatic bouts of speaking in teen tongues.

3. "Prayer in school will return next year"

Perhaps not next year but before the end of this decade.

This Supreme Court – dominated by partisan conservative ideologues – will eliminate most, if not all, of Establishment Clause jurisprudence.

4. ban on IVF, ban on birth control, ban on pornography

ban on no fault divorce... The EPA will not be able to regulate any pollution. OHSA will not be able to enforce any job safety measures ( if they get in the way of profits ), food safety - gone, airline safety - gone, NTSB - gone, government sponsored research - gone ( except for military ), ATF - probably gone.

this from the chevron decision coupled with immunity decision and the Dobbs decision taken to the next step.

14. Strangely I'm not sure they will ban porn

I never see as many porn stores or strip joints as when I'm in deep Red America.

I fully agree the EPA and OSHA are neutered. Shelby Foote said that prior to the Civil War, it was "the United States are..." and after it became "the United States is...." We are now back to "the United States are..."

5. Separate but equal? Segregation?

[rurallib]

6. Wondering about that also

I am sure they are working on it

7. They might return,

but I will be dead as a result of fighting it, and I will not be alone.

15. I think we may go back to "state by state"

Same-sex marriage recognition will likely go the same way. In fact, all couples going state to state to change residence may have to reestablish marriage in the same way they reregister cars

[Freethinker65]

17. So changing USA to SA (dropping that pesky United part).

I can see Trump refusing to aid "Blue" States, cities, counties that are known to despise him. Majority of current SCOTUS wouldn't GAF and could enjoy appreciation gifts by ruling in Trump's favor. Education left to States will hasten the destruction.

Honestly anyone with investments or businesses in this country should be actively working to ensure Biden gets re-elected.

8. Teacher-lead prayer, you mean

I could see that.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

16. In many states, the Lord's Prayer (aka the Our Father) started every public school day

Stopped in the early 60s I think.

[Irish_Dem]

9. Any progress made in the 20th century is in harm's way.

[walkingman]

10. I consider religion to be the destroyers of humanity.

[kwolf68]

12. Yep, in the very least

It has a tendency to suspend the ability to think and rationalize. It may not destroy brain cells like drugs do, but it puts them on hiatus.

[shrike3]

11. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

[StarryNite]

18. Will there be public schools?

Doesn't Project 2025 call for defunding them?

[Algernon Moncrieff]

19. Yep

They despise teachers unions.

[leftyladyfrommo]

20. We never had prayer in school in Spokane.

We did have a prayer before big events in Salt Lake City but not daily.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

21. It was more of an Eastern & Southern thing

People I knew who grew up in Maryland said it every day - like the Pledge. But my mom grew up in SoCal and Washington State and they didn't say it there.
