343: SCOTUS issues 4 fantastic rulings!!

<p>The boys drink and review Crispy Boy Vienna Lager from Black Flag brewing, then discuss some fantastic recent decisions from the Supreme Court. </p> <p>The cases involved affirmative action, freedom of religion, student debt, and freedom of speech. </p> <p>Affirmative action is blatantly unconstitutional. It was passed by a liberal court that knew it was bad law, but hoped it would be a temporary fix to race issues. The Court found that things have gotten worse, not better, so it&#39;s time to be done with it. </p> <p>In the freedom of religion case, the Court corrected a misinterpretation of previous precent. People thought that an employer could refuse an accommodation if it caused a &quot;de minimis&quot; hardship. In Groff vs. Dejoy, the Postal Service failed to accommodate a postal worker whose religion prevented him from working on Sunday. The Court ruled that employers have to make religious accommodations unless doing so would cause substantial harm. </p> <p>The Court also shot down Biden&#39;s over-reach on student debt, which even Nancy Pelosi said the president didn&#39;t have the authority to do. </p> <p>In the final case, the Court ruled that a person can&#39;t be forced to speak -- that is, to express a message they disagree with. You can&#39;t make the Jewish t-shirt vendor create a shirt that hates on Jews, and you can&#39;t require the atheist baker to make a person who is against the death penalty to design a flyer that celebrates executions. The important thing about this case is that it&#39;s not limited to religion or religious expression. It&#39;s about free speech in general. </p>
