"Seidel examines some of the key Supreme Court cases of the last thirty years--including Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission (a bakery that refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple), Trump v. Hawaii (the anti-Muslim travel ban case), American Legion v. American Humanist Association (related to a group maintaining a 40-foot Christian cross on government-owned land), and Tandon v. Newsom (a Santa Clara Bible group exempted from Covid health restrictions), as well as the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade--and how a hallowed legal protection, freedom of religion, has been turned into a tool to advance privilege and impose religion on others. This is a meticulously researched and deeply insightful account of our political landscape with a foreword provided by noted constitutional scholar Erwin Chemerinsky, author of The Case Against the Supreme Court"--provided by publisher.

While it would be wonderful if everyone read this with an open mind, those who know quite well that what they are doing is un-American will just pretend that they are doing what is "right." It would be great if those who have been supporting the right without fully realizing what has been happening (part of being privileged is being blind to what is happening to others while you exercise your entitlements) read this and had to actually make the decision to either stop the un-American activity or admit they are, indeed, anti-democracy and pro religious persecution of every religious belief other than their own. For those of us aware of the evil these people represent, this book makes explicit the areas where rule of law has been either ignored or completely flipped in order to serve the crusade for an anti-humanity pro-(right kind of)Christian regime.
While one of the things this book does is offer us specific talking points for debating those who are actually open to discussion, the bigger thing, for me, is as a call to action before it is too late. We must stop the twisting of our system and mend the holes that have always needed mending and have now been used to shred our democracy and the rule of law. If we can't make those changes internally, then, by any means necessary, we must stop each and every one of these people from doing more damage. They are a minority, but they also control, or are controlled by, the most money. So we MUST do whatever it takes to make sure they are stopped, permanently, without recourse to any more of their hate filled faux Christianity.
Highly recommended for those who support democracy and rule of law. Also recommended for those on the religious right, but be aware, there are big words in here that will likely confuse you.
