HB71 - Requires Louisiana Schools to display the 10 commandments passes with Bipartisan Support 82 - 19

Check out this article...it's from politico and really makes a good objective, fact based analysis of SCOTUS decisions by the current court. It isn't nearly as bad as the media makes it out to be

Certainly food for thought

I have no idea how the media makes it out to be. But I do know that they have reversed precedent in several recent cases. They probably won't in this instance, but I'm less confident of that than I was 5 or 10 years ago.

I honestly seldom read anything the media has to say about legal cases because they seldom understand the issues involved and seldom understand the actual rulings or the reasons for them because, except for a very small number, they aren't trained in how to read cases and interpret them.

And to be clear, my lack of confidence isn't really because of any perceived political ideology of the members of SCOTUS as much as it is a willingness to ignore precedent. And frankly I think for many years SCOTUS has made results based decisions that I don't think really followed the law on both sides of the political spectrum.

It would also probably surprise you which cases I think they decided correctly and which I think they didn't. Because some of those decision that I think were right went against my political leanings and some of the cases that I think were wrong were in favor of my political leanings. But, overall, I think SCOUTS tends to rule on the law and not on politics but the only cases the vast majority of people here about are the political hot potatoes.

Edit: But I will say that after reading the Politico article they do a pretty good job of getting beyond political biases and seeing some of the things that are really behind some of the rulings. I do think SCOTUS sometimes rules based on their own personal beliefs and the results they want instead of ruling on the law as they should, but those beliefs aren't always political and sometimes have more to do with how they view and interpret the law than politics. After all, even people in the same party don't agree on everything.
