QuoteThe Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down a ban on taxpayer funding for religious schools, in a narrow but significant win for the school choice movement.

In the 5-4 ruling, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court essentially backed a Montana tax-credit scholarship program that gave residents up to a $150 credit for donating to private scholarship organizations, helping students pay for their choice of private schools. The state's revenue department made a rule banning those tax-credit scholarships from going to religious schools before the state's supreme court later struck down the entire program.

Tricky.  Bet the fact that all SCOTUS members are either Catholic or Jewish, had something to do with this.  Not just Catholic parochial schools out there, Hebrew day schools too.

Yes, NorKs are so much better off ;-(  Their President for Life is a bit chubby but younger than Trump ...

One can overcome ennui with one's own country's stupidity, by looking at any other country.  Look, look ... barbarians.  I do this all the time.
