PURPOSE

This blog is rather unique from other available blogs. Most blogs are focused on specific topics or issues such as politics, food, travel, etc. This blog is not. The focus for this blog is whatever I want to write or discuss on any given day. The things that interest me and will be discussed at times will include politics, sports, (especially college football and basketball) food, entertainment, pop culture, etc. I hope you enjoy reading and commenting on my blog as much as I will writing it.

LANDMARK SUPREME COURT RULING

In Hosannah Tabor v. EEOC  the Supreme Court ruled that churches enjoy wide discretion from civil rights laws in hiring and firing employees they classify as ministerial. 

In a unanimous 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court handed the Obama administration and the justice department a stinging rebuke. This includes the two justices appointed by Obama. Elena Kagan, the most recent Obama appointee, joined with Samuel Alito in writing a concurring opinion. Below is a very good and comprehensive synopsis of the case.
