#163 In which what happens in the home stays in the home.

Apparently human rights come from God. Or at least that’s the way we understand what was said at Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission hearing yesterday. We here at ConstiToonies HQ can live with that. Human rights are important, no matter where you think they come from. Getting them from God is probably better than getting them from, say, Amazon.com, although delivery might be faster with the latter. One down side to this Commission is that this is your good old-fashioned Judeo-Christian God we’re talking about, which leaves out about two thirds of the planet’s population. More importantly, the Commission seems to think that their Judeo-Christian beliefs should be established into US law, most notably but not exclusively with prayer in schools. In fact, we are soon going to have our exalted Department of Wrestling and Education chime in on that very subject. The bind moggles. 

We would hope that the First Amendment might have some limiting effect on all of this, but given the makeup of today’s SCOTUS, we have our doubts. So, to be on the side of all that is right and good, we are now officially beginning the working day at CHQ with the following prayer: “Dear God, or not, as the case may be, please make these people go away.”
