Here is a sleeper court case about to go before SCOTUS. According to ABC News, “Former U.S. Postal Service letter carrier Gerald Groff spent every day for seven years delivering the mail in a rural corner of southeast Pennsylvania — except for Sundays when he would attend worship services and rest. But in 2019, the former Mennonite missionary and son of a truck driver said his boss forced him to choose between practicing his faith or a paycheck distributing packages, and he resigned. ‘I want to own what I believe and live that out for God,’ Groff told ABC News in an interview in his hometown of Lancaster County. Next week, Groff will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to require employers to be more accommodating of religiously observant workers, including a right to skip shifts on the Sabbath and still keep their jobs.”
So! Here’s another religious case that will further define the theocracy SCOTUS wants to impose on the rest of us. Federal law requires employers to accommodate the religious beliefs of workers unless it would impose an “undue hardship” on business — a standard SCOTUS interpreted 46 years ago to mean anything more than a “de minimis cost.” Well, that standard — like Roe — is about to be blown out of the water. I have no doubt how these uber-conservative theocratic justices, who hold a supermajority on the Court, mind you, will rule. In favor of Christianity! This Court is going scorched earth on all the old norms. And don’t think for a second that other religions will be respected in practice, for this Court only cares about the “history and traditions” of America, which undoubtedly they will claim is singularly Christian. The consequences of this ruling could be devastating as every secular worker has to pick up the slack while lazy Christians start requesting Sundays off and every other day they don’t feel like working all in the name of religion. How many saints days do Catholics have? Probably one for every day of the year. Soon — already actually — Christians will be elevated to protected status. Mark my words, f***tards. Welcome to stupid America — the new theocracy!
