U.S. Supreme Court rejects Christian preacher's challenge to university (archive.is)

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a traveling Christian evangelist's free-speech challenge to a University of Alabama requirement that he obtain a permit before handing out religious pamphlets and preaching from a sidewalk adjacent to its campus.

Reminder that the government does not respect the public square it is legal bound to in the constitution.

A federal judge in 2020 ruled in favor of the school officials, finding that the sidewalk was a "limited public forum" - a status giving public universities and other government entities more leeway to regulate particular classes of speakers or kinds of speech. The Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed last year.

This is blatantly unconstitutional

The high court is due to rule by the end of June in another free speech case involving religion. The court's conservative justices during arguments in December appeared ready to rule that a Christian web design business owner named Lorie Smith has a right to refuse to provide services for same-sex marriages. Smith has said that under her Christian beliefs marriage should be limited to opposite-sex couples.

The Supreme Court can’t define what Marriage is under the law anymore as it has no set legal definition since we started pretending it was anything more than a breeding contract.

Adjacent to the university's campus

So literally on a public sidewalk. I'm going to refer to this the next time I get accosted by PETA or Greenpeace tryhards handing out sign-up forms.

pretending it was nothing more than a breeding contract

It's not even that, since same-sex couples that are biologically incapable of breeding can get married.

But family members can't. Adults and children can't.

If it’s a public square and he is handing out literature people can refuse. Not sure why there is a problem. I’ve seen all sorts of people in public spaces trying to sell me something and I just say no.

That happened the moment married filing jointly became a thing, really.
