i find the concept of audibly praying on the 50 yard line of a football game to be pretty strange. do we really have to bother god about a high school football game? come on.
At some point it’s not praying, it’s O.C.D. It’s a ritual/repetitive behaviour, the fact god is involved is irrelevant
it’s like a baseball player not touching the lines.
Odds are it started after a good game
Or the coach learned it as a player from his coach and is trying to indoctrinate the next generation of youth.

Every single college football player in an interview after a game thanks God. Who are we to judge?

if there is a god, he better not give two flying fucks about adults playing sports. adults playing sports in and of itself is absurd enough by itself (and yes, I watch adults playing sports).

If there is a God, then we have no way of determining what he cares about and what he doesn't. When an athlete thanks God at the beginning of an interview, it doesn't bother me in the slightest.
I wouldn't say it "bothers" me. I just think it's stupid. it more gives me a chuckle than anything. now, when a player gets injured and a group of them get together and pray for his health, that I get.

It bothers me a bit, but that's probably more about me...I don't think we should tell them not to.
A key difference is that they have no captive audience. Literally nobody's reaction can be used against them, as the player has no pupils or employees that might feel pressured to participate.

is it normal for SCOTUS to make this many rulings in such a short time, or are we/the media just now paying more attention because of the rulings themselves?

I don't actually know...but I'm guessing not this many high-profile decisions.
If it is happening more frequently than usual, it could be because an emboldened right is bringing cases through to get to a court that is now essentially an arm of MAGA.

is it normal for SCOTUS to make this many rulings in such a short time, or are we/the media just now paying more attention because of the rulings themselves?
SCOTUS has a calendar whereas cases reach the docket, they agree to hear arguments and issue rulings before the term ends. I believe they hear arguments in the fall up to around Christmas or January and then issue decisions before their summer recess. Also, as mentioned, the right has been active in bringing forth cases to reach the high court, bought and paid for by dark money.

Normal for June
Well normal that it’s the end of the term in June but with a HUGE but.
The court hasn’t agreed to hear such landmark cases in recent decades because a balanced court operating based on the constitution would have no reason to hear many of these big cases…Roe, Gun carry and public prayer.
in normal times, plaintiffs would never have bothered when say Kennedy or O’Connor were the swing votes. But this 6-3 court with at least five extremists (meaning the judges decide cases strictly on their personal and political views, not stare decisis) - plaintiffs and legislatures know it’s open season and we will continue to see case after case that would never have seen the light of day become front page news.
Whats so troubling is many trump hating independents really don’t understand the history of the court and the extremism of the current rulings. So what if a football coach wants to think of his players as better people only if they participate in his publicly funded public rituals, I am Christian and if they want to pray, amen. So be it. A case like that would not have been taken seriously in a century leading up to kennedys retirement. Not in a public school. No way.
Thats why Dems need to pass laws to stack the court, to pressure both sides to agree on amendments to reform the court. If Biden stands in the way of that, time to primary him.
I mean, they kinda started the obliteration of landmark school prayer Engel v. Vitale - which I’m sure will continue to be dismembered in the next term. Even right now, this key ruling is weakened,
..
“ The Court held that the mere promotion of a religion is sufficient to establish a violation, even if that promotion is not coercive. The Court further held that the fact that the prayer is vaguely-enough worded not to promote any particular religion is not a sufficient defense, as it still promotes a family of religions (those that recognize "Almighty God"), which still violates the Establishment Clause.[8]
..
In the sixty years since this ruling it’s been challenged three times and was sustained. So what if an issue has already been decided four times, we have the power now to do what we personally want, thanks to the seditionist. Time to pass laws to expand the bench.
is it normal for SCOTUS to make this many rulings in such a short time, or are we/the media just now paying more attention because of the rulings themselves?
yes. end of session is when most of the rulings come down. they listen to arguments of the cases they hear throughout the session and now its ruliing time unless there were emergency hearings for gov related stuff.

Another day, another dollar from the draconian court.

This is an out of control court legislating and executing from the bench, taking over all three branches of government

Justice Elena Kagan, who was joined by Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer in her dissent, called the decision “frightening.” “Whatever else this Court may know about, it does not have a clue about how to address climate change,” Kagan wrote. “And let’s say the obvious: The stakes here are high. Yet the Court today prevents congressionally authorized agency action to curb power plants’ carbon dioxide emissions.

I think it’s to cost Brandon the elections. “Stay in Mexico” ruling drives indies to repubs and the EPA ruling drives indies to third party, green or to stay home. Dig baby dig and open borders. Yay!
