All “Ayes”

The Supreme Court made not one… not two… but three unanimous decisions yesterday. 

The High Court revived a so-called “reverse discrimination” lawsuit from a woman who says she was denied a promotion and then demoted for being heterosexual. The decision affects 20 states that, until now, had required majority-group plaintiffs (including people who are White or heterosexual) to meet stricter requirements to sue for discrimination. 

The Supremes also blocked Mexico’s $10B liability lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers, which claimed the companies were “aiding and abetting” cartels in trafficking guns across the border. The Court said Mexico didn’t provide “specific criminal transactions” to support its claims. 

The Catholic Charities Bureau also got a W when SCOTUS determined the organization’s “religious motivations” were enough to qualify for an exemption from Wisconsin state unemployment taxes. 

Verse to consider as you strive to be a peacemaker in your home, community, workplace, or anywhere else you find yourself… “Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Give careful thought to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes. If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”
