This, coming from a Trumpkin, is outrageous. You probably don't even recognize the irony.
No doubt you also support Alex Jones' disgusting conspiracies against people whose innocent children were killed thanks to the far-Reich misinterpretation of the 2nd amendment. You really need to reevaluate your life - you really suck as a human being.

Alabama justice's ties with far-right Christian movement raise concern https://www.npr.org/2024/02/27/12339...an-nationalist
Has anyone responded to this being an unconstititional application of religious test of/for law?

I don't see how it could be otherwise.

It's de-centralized authority, bumped it back to States Rights vs Federal.
Ultra-conservative Kansas voted Pro-Choice, by popular vote.
I did not vote, because I'm exempt from having children (sigh).

Traditionally the Supreme Court has used words like endorse, indoctrinate and fostering entanglement to describe government actions that violate the amendment. And the court has been sensitive to even indirect coercion motivated by religion. If the current court followed generations of Supreme Court precedent, there is no way the frankly religious Alabama ruling could stand. But the current court, of course, is pretty much a 'precedent be damned' court.

The current court no longer finds an enforceable right to abortion in the federal constitution. But if some state judge or legislature wre to say "By authority of Almighty god, and in accordance with His law, there should be no abortion in our state. " that would be a clear violation of The Establishment Clause in the first amendment. At least it's clear according to how the Supreme Court always has interpreted the thing. The court now seems very free to change its mind. It used to be the case that no matter what you are making a law about if you frankly said it was in accordance with upholding religion, that would make it establishment of religion and the Supreme Court would throw it out. Will have to see if that's still holds.
