KRATS decided 3 SCOTUS cases today, 5-4. Think Progress reports: Supreme Court Sides With Administration, Corporations In New Decisions.
In one of them, a citizens can't challenge the White House in "encouraging religious charities to apply for federal grants." If the religious right can object to using federal funds to pay for abortions for poor women in the case of rape or incest, then I should be able to object to the federal money going to religious groups, or at the very least to the federal government helping religous groups get money from the federal government. Case wasn't about banning the practice, merely about challenging it. In his dissent, Justice Souter said the decision ''closes the door on these taxpayers because the executive branch, and not the legislative branch, caused their injury, I see no basis for this distinction."
