Scott Johnson Again Confirms That He Doesn’t Understand The Free Exercise/Free Expression Clauses…

Dopey old Scott Johnson has been yammering on for two days now, to complaint about a “Satanists'” display at the Minnesota State Capitol.

He’s angry that there are no written “substantive” standards in Minnesota laws and regs, that would allow him to sue, and exclude the display from public view.

Silly Scott — regulating speech, on its “substantive content” — is precisely what the unbroken line of 100 years of Supreme Court cases has found violates the Free Exercise clause.

Whether Scott or I like it or not, a Satanists’ display is… a good faith religious display, and if a Baby Jesus and/or a Menorah may be found on State grounds, then of course a Muslim or Sikh or Hindu or Buddhist or Satanic one must be allowed, too.

That’s “One L” stuff, buddy. Damn.

Take a seat… you’ve forgotten what you were taught about 60 years ago, at a minimum.

Out.
