discolé monade Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 ok. i understand about acess to voter lists for campaign purposes, but, i question the use of this list (inactive) published by the local news paper NOT at the behest of the registars office. this local paper is shady, sketchy and ratched af. i located an article for louisiana, that a local paper stopped that practice of 20 years ago, because of listing of domestic/sexual crimes victims, also, the list that was obtained wasn't vetted. some of the people on there are deceased. tl:dr i loathe this local paper and would love to shut them down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Debater131 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 This feels like such an extraordinarily bad idea that regardless of legality it shouldn't even be considered. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatd piss him off. Sounds like a pretty stand up guy.

discolé monade Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 so i have another question: how do you feel about prayer,( or as in this case, invocation) before a city or county public meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better question - are the PEOPLE [ as in anyone in the area ] allowed to chose the 'prayer' ? Because around here there's a long list of 'christians' allowed to open meetings and maybe the occasional Native but I think only if that's been vetted first. And there were a couple of knuckledraggers in the recent session who decided to turn their backs during the prayer because they 'didn't like being lectured to when there was serious business to attend'. The 'lecture' was a prayer for tolerance and to be more Christ-like, the 'serious business' of the day were votes targeting transgendered people, books, and pronoun usage. So, short answer is if you can't abide by the best your so-called faith expects, don't bother insisting on a prayer before you vote your hate. It doesn't absolve you from choosing to be a dick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republican SCOTUS said it was fine in a 5-4 decision in 2014: https://www.oyez.org/cases/2013/12-696 Quote Does the invocation of prayer at a legislative session violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment even in the absence of discrimination in the selection of prayer-givers and content? No. Justice Anthony Kennedy delivered the opinion for the 5-4 majority. The Court held that the context and jurisprudence surrounding the First Amendment suggested that the Establishment Clause was never meant to prohibit legislative prayer, which created the proper deliberative mood and acknowledged religion's role in society. The content of this prayer does not need to be non-sectarian, because such a requirement would place the courts in the role of arbiters of religious speech, which would involve the government in religion to an extent that is impermissible under the Establishment Clause. The Court thus held that the prayers in question do not violate this tradition and are therefore acceptable under the First Amendment. Justice Kennedy further argued that legislative prayer is primarily for the members of the legislative body, and therefore such prayers do not coerce the public into religious observance. Though the respondents testified that they felt offended by these prayers, Justice Kennedy distinguished between offense and coercion and noted that the former does not violate the Establishment Clause. Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Clarence Thomas did not join in this portion of the opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupin_bebop Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Everything about that sounds illegal and invasive. It changes a little state to state. The main idea for what is done is still pretty illegal as fuck, in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only applies if your beliefs aren't the same as 'their' beliefs. If you are different or different enough, you aren't allowed to make the rules because it hurts their Zombie Jesus' feelings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
