Rep. Jared Huffman: I Want to Thank Samuel Alito for Flying His Flags
I’m the only open non-believer in Congress, and I appreciate the right-wing Supreme Court justice inadvertently showing Americans the threat of Christian nationalism.
Never heard of this guy before. Apparently he's been around for awhile in California. Definitely worth reading this opinion piece.
Also:
Huffman is the only elected member of the U.S. House who openly describes himself as religiously unaffiliated and a secular humanist. Huffman is also the only member of Congress who openly rejects the existence of God.
I like him
Holyshit that was good.What's the average amount of people for a caucus? I've never put much thought into them before.
Dutch Sheets has to be the worst god damn name I've ever heard
Isn’t that a gas station in PA?
Or is it the magic loophole that the Amish use to hold smart phones?
The appeal to heaven flag, despite what the name implies, is not really religious in spirit. The whole idea is that there is a right to revolution if the laws of the land are truly unjust. It's an acknowledgement that the laws of the land can be wrong and that revolution is necessary under certain circumstances. Hard to say exactly what his intent was in flying that flag, maybe in direct relation to Jan 6, but possibly as a an acknowledgement of the limitations of the highest court in the land. If the latter, then I think it's commendable for him to fly it.
