    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    Your edit here is telling. I've been very precise in maintaining partisan neutrality in this thread, avoiding "our side rules, their side is bad" language. This is about an objective, non-partisan approach to government. I would ask that you at least attempt the same. -CryptoLutheran

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    That's a deflection, not an answer. The president just signed an executive order that will take your guns away. Federal agents are sent in to break down your door and take your guns. Congress isn't doing anything about it. And now we wait until the higher courts hear about this before anything...

    And if the majority elected to both the Senate and House are pro-President Woke Leftist McGee and they do nothing. What then? -CryptoLutheran

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    So if a future president signs an executive order to take away your guns, the lower courts cannot stop him. And it will have to go all the way to the higher courts then. In the meantime the president sends in federal agents to confiscate your guns. And this is a good thing, you say...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    What's stopping a future administration from doing it? And you can't say "the Constitution", given that the same Constitution also guarantees Due Process to everyone. I want a meaningful and articulated reason why, since courts cannot make nation wide injunctions against executive orders, then...

    US has struck three Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says

    So when you say "Israel" are you referring to the state that governs a piece of territory in the Levant that was established by the United Nations in 1948, are you referring to citizens of that state (aka Israelis), or are you referring to all Jewish people? I know Jewish people, they're US...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    This looks to me like it's the opposite of checks and balances--this reduces the Judicial of its powers to literally check and balance the Executive. How does this not result in Executive overreach? If the courts cannot make national injunctions against unilateral executive actions by the...

    SCOTUS Limits Federal Judges’ Ability to Block Executive Actions Nationwide

    Would someone enlighten me as to why this is a good thing, and not a bad thing? I understand why Trump supporters would be happy about this in the short term, but surely the long term ramifications of this will mean eventually there's going to be cases where someone you don't like is in the WH...

    Communism- Socialism

    Firstly, Communism and Socialism aren't the same thing. Communist? No. Socialist? What kind of socialism? What implementation of socialist policies do you have in mind? I think the US would benefit greatly with some implementation of some socialist policies which aim to produce just and...

    US has struck three Iranian nuclear sites, Trump says

    As I said, I'm not going to debate the theology of this subject here. But I did notice that you didn't actually answer the question I asked of you. I asked if you regard the modern state of Israel and the Jewish people to be the same thing. -CryptoLutheran

    Can Christians be "hateful" or be guilty of "hate speech"?

    Christians are not morally superior to non-Christians. Christians have no business being bigots, but simply being a Christian doesn't prevent someone from being a bigot. To address bigotry among Christians requires there to be a faithful preaching of God's Law in the Church, and Christians to...

    Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands?

    It's a fundamental misunderstanding of the passage to use it to teach that men are supposed to be "the boss" or act in some authoritarian way in the home. The thesis of this portion of text is "submit to one another out of reverence for Christ". In most of the older manuscripts the following...

    Does the Bible command Christians to support the State of Israel?

    No. The modern state of Israel is biblically, religiously, theologically, and spiritually irrelevant. -CryptoLutheran
