I'm wondering if there was the impression that we could not discuss human rights violations if they are the responsibility of The US Supreme Court. We can.

Is anyone else sick with disgust these days?

How many of you are now an incubator with less rights than a clump of cells?

And what are we, as guardians of justice, going to do about it?

By your leave


Do you think it is wise to send letters to the SCOTUS as a Temple?

I personally believe we have more power as individuals than as a Temple sending letters.

That said, I think the focus should be off SCOTUS and more towards our local governments. SCOTUS has made their decision, and will need another case to make a new judgement. But it will take time for new blood to get in and reinstate the ruling.

I can't imaging letters doing any good. Roberts all but begged the hateful five to only allow the 15 week ban but not go further.

Besides voting,and that means voting in state and national elections, here are some interesting ideas.

For states that are currently safe, simply to ensure you turn out to local elections and vote for people whom are fighting for basic human rights. California has a large Red swath of land, it’s also home to a a popular (yet controversial) Charismatic church whom I’m sure will feel emboldened by this decision and encourage more turn out at elections to see “God’s law” implemented.

People need to stand up to counter those whom fight for theocratic causes.
