The 3rd...only fails for me b/c I know the present Pope is a biblical disaster.

My understanding is that although Francis has been pretty bad on most issues, he's managed to remain more or less consistent on the abortion. I'd agree that he's made some wavering comments that do take the bite out of the part of the Biden meme re: gay marriage though. The meme itself, I think, is the logical evolution of ones like this joking that Biden is the sort of 'Pope's puppet' that Protestant fanatics feared JFK would be in the '60s.@Circle of Willis

Same-sex marrige is not next.
Gorsuch wrote a masterpiece of "a racist and sexist idiot added sex to the Civil Rights Act in an attempt to kill the bill - which still got passed by Congress and signed into law - so here are the consequences".

It would seem that Clarence Thomas disagrees, per his concurring opinion. But I imagine that's a fight he'll take up some other day, and I've seen other posters digging up other grounds to constitutionally justify gay marriage that have nothing to do with abortion either way in this forum.
In any case, the Supreme Court's other big recent case (besides the one on guns yesterday) had to do with religious schools and they're also looking at a school prayer-related case at this time, so IMO school prayer is much likelier to be the next battleground before any serious attempt at re-opening gay marriage comes up.
I really don't want public school prayer. That seems to me to be a straight establishment cause violation, and a good bellweather IMO for how much I should respect each judge and commentator.
What's the sitch?

If we can have other forms of indoctrination and SJW cultists preaching in school we can also have prayer. Or you can just stop with the ideology and opinion pieces and just teach actual science/grammar/math whatever.

(1) Whether a public-school employee who says a brief, quiet prayer by himself while at school and visible to students is engaged in government speech that lacks any First Amendment protection; and (2) whether, assuming that such religious expression is private and protected by the free speech and free exercise clauses, the establishment clause nevertheless compels public schools to prohibit it.
so it isn't about making kids say prayers it is about preventing people who are religious from praying while visible to kids. I am fine with it. though i would agree that teachers as public servants do not have free speech while on the job so that is a fair way to attack it.
@Blasterbot
I can pray anywhere I want in the USA, no matter my job, as long as I legally have access to that area.
The establishment clause does NOT prohibit that despite what some courts may have said.
What the establishment clause prohibits is the government forcing individuals to pray. Like all the greenies and lgbtqanons force kids to do if they're teachers.

Oh, yeah, Justice Dankula is having a helluva time on twitter. It's hilarious. Started with this:
And then snowballed from there.
Now the specific case going to the supreme court, IIRC, took place after the school activity, so honestly it's really an edge case I don't care about. But teachers leading kids in prayer will make the public schools a whole lot worse than they already are.

Not as a government employee teaching kids, in front of kids, you can't. Just like teachers can't say 'freedom of speech' to defend regurgitating leftist dogma when the school board doesn't like it, the right can't do the same with freedom of religion. If you are leading kids in prayer as a public school teacher or coach or whatever, or encouraging kids to do so, that violates the establishment clause.
