[Peregrinator]

I had posted it in the blurt thread, but it seems to have provoked some discussion.

I think you hate States rights.

 

[TexasWife25]

Clearly those godless heathens dont deserve to hold office.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

It's stuff like this that pushes me toward anarchist thinking.

 

[Peregrinator]

I think you hate States rights.

I hate discrimination. I love states' rights in this case, because it means rational people can move to someplace reasonable.

 

[Colonel Hogan]

Give me a call back if anyone tires to enforce those laws.

From Savage in the blurt thread:

In 1961, the United States Supreme Court explicitly overturned the Maryland provision in the Torcaso v. Watkins decision, holding that laws requiring "a belief in the existence of God" in order to hold public office violated freedom of religion provided for by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

I lived in one, am soon moving to another. Could affect my career plans

Prepare to be bundled and burnt with the rest of the tares.

Holy shit, I think that you really believe that.

 

[Sean Renaud]

It's stuff like this that pushes me toward anarchist thinking.

Because not having rules and someone with the authority and ability to enforce them will surely end all discrimination in the world.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

Because not having rules and someone with the authority and ability to enforce them will surely end all discrimination in the world.

In this case, it is the State imposing the discrimination. As was true of Jim Crow in most cases.

However, I do have lingering reservations about making the transition in my lifetime. I'm not ready to abolish the State until I'm sure that feasible alternatives are in place. Because, unlike some guys of that stripe, if you gave me a choice between a Mad Max world and the existence of the State, I would grudgingly opt for the State.

Torcaso v Watkins.

Just saw that. Bit of a non-starter, this thread of yours.

Dumbass, you should have stuck to the blurt thread.
