Amid leftists’ ongoing judicial coup against the Trump administration, America’s propaganda media have fomented baseless fears that President Trump is going to “defy” or “ignore” a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court if it rules on a case in a way he doesn’t like. But if these so-called “defenders of democracy” are concerned about government officials “ignoring” court rulings as they claim, where is their outrage about Democrat-led Wisconsin’s apparent bid to sidestep SCOTUS in a prominent religious liberty decision issued earlier this year?
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc. v. Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Commission that the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s denial of tax-exempt status to the state-based Catholic Charities Bureau (CCB) violated its First Amendment rights. While seemingly a major victory for religious liberty, the Christian group’s “win” now appears to be in jeopardy.
In the months since SCOTUS remanded the case back to the Wisconsin courts to remedy the violation, the Badger State’s Democrat-led government has been seeking to deny the tax-exemption not only to the CCB, but to all such religious and nonreligious organizations across Wisconsin — a move the charity’s legal representation says “should raise some red flags.”
“This is an organization that’s trying to help people and trying to do it as efficiently as possible. They have limited resources. They want to use them well. You’d think the state would want to partner with that as opposed to targeting it,” Becket Fund for Religious Liberty Attorney Colten Stanberry told The Federalist.
