[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Context matters. Instead of simply reading the article go to the primary source. 
Watch the speech. It was funny, self deprecating and intelligent regardless of one’s political views. 
Understanding your adversary’s viewpoint and arguments is invaluable. 
Such a lack of intellectual curiosity on DCUM. [/quote]

Intellectual curiosity for this

"“It is hard to convince people that religious liberty is worth defending if they don’t think that religion is a good thing that deserves protection,” Alito told the audience. “The challenge for those who want to protect religious liberty in the United States, Europe, and other similar places is to convince people who are not religious that religious liberty is [b]worth special protection.[/b] That will not be easy to do.”

SPECIAL PROTECTION. No, thats been done before. Christians, Muslims, etc. They can do their thing but no, I am not interested in giving religions special protection. That means that those with religion are protected more than those without. Religion needs less power not more and history has shown us time and time again that power combined with religion is a dangerous thing for most people. [/quote]

Reading is fundamental. 
He didn't say giving "religion" special protection.  
He said give "religious liberty" special protection.  And, that is exactly what this country was founded on.  Remember the pilgrims?
People should be free to worship as they wish.  [/quote]

In what way does Dobbs advance religious liberty?

The “joke” was gross because he’s making fun of foreign leaders for being worried about reproductive rights and the health of American women of childbearing age. That’s only a “joke” if you’re a psychopath. [/quote]

You are guilty of taking soundbites out of context.

His whole speech was about religious freedom.  That was the topic.  It was not in reference to Roe or any other decision.
