My observations on yesterday’s LGBTQ decisions:
- I have noted on previous occasions that simply dividing the Supreme Court into two ideological factions is accurate, but an oversimplification. These decisions support that proposition.
- Don’t expect this to be the beginning of a trend in which the Court moves to the left. My guess is that these decisions are intended to some extent to provide “balance” for some provocative right-leaning opinions that will come out shortly.
- This is the reactionaries’ worst nightmare: a decision written by a Trump appointee that effectively imposes PC values on them. There are no carve-outs or safe spaces left for conservative Christians in this field. They will go nuts as a result.
- Will Trump be blamed? I’m guessing not, but time will tell.
