If this happens to go against a smaller, minority religion than that happens to be the case. But this country is run by politicians elected by the majority and minority groups are constantly left on the side. There will always be opposition to any law but that does not mean that we cannot pass it because we do not have 100% approval.
Agreed if that happened then nothing would get done.
since most of these are heard by Supreme Court rulings, would it not be unfair to stack the Supreme Court with only a singular political or religious leaning?
I know it happens under any administration who has to enstate new nominees but at this time we are at the rise of 3 new SC justices which gives a lot of power in one direction and could be used to further a personal religious based agenda.
I know there is no way to give qualification to this argument so I throw it out there as more of a "what if" type argument.
