I doubt anybody is going to listen to confused John Fetterman, who thought Biden ought to stay in the race. Great political instincts and judgment. He's probably doing 30 over the limit as we speak.

It would be hilarious if Democrats lost the election because some ignorant 20-somethings care more about Gaza than America.

OMG... read the article. j/k

Thanks for the explanation.

You act like that is a unique problem related to Israel and Palestine. I think there are much bigger priorities.

Why should I care about this?

If the victim lies to the FBI said victim may be criminally charged again. If it wasn't a bullet that would be an embarrassment for victim's campaign.

I mostly agree, but you can only let it get so bad. Let's make sure Trump's term was an abberation.

To be clear, I think what's happening in Gaza is outrageous, it's just not an easy situation. Too much religion not enough humanity.

Arafat rejected Barak's offer and refused to make an immediate counter-offer.[100] He told President Clinton that, "the Arab leader who would surrender Jerusalem is not born yet."[114]

Young people are also seriously ignorant and naive. The world is not a nice place to live. But if this is really what they want to fight about, god love em. They're going to be out there for a long time. Personally I think avoiding autocracy at home is more important.

I blame Palestinians for allowing Hamas to come to power and rule by terror. What do you think is going to happen if they are recognized as a nation state? You'd probably have the same situation you have now. The only people doing anything about Hamas is Israel. If Palestinians took care of their own problems (something thats necessary as a sovereign nation) none of this would have happened. Arafat should have taken the deal that was offered to him in 2000.

I don't really care about this as much as you do. Maybe an asteroid will land in the middle east so it becomes uninhabitable for hundreds of years.

I think Harris would be best served by staying as far away from this issue as possible, otherwise she will be sucked into a conflict that certainly will not be resolved before, and likely not after, the election.

The US should probably stop sending weapons and foreign aid to Israel. They have a strong developed economy and it's time to cut them off, regardless of this conflict.

That's a great argument for Israel to continue to flatten Gaza. Your reasoning will only fan the flames of conflict.

Palestinians really helped make peace possible last October. What is your age?

What is the actual status of this? This is outrageous

I didn't know about the RLUIPA until I read the doc, so I didn't realize there was even a conflict. I thought this was pure judicial activism.

The Church has carried its burden on this question. As the Tenth Circuit has noted, a substantial burden exists for the purposes of RLUIPA where the government “prevents participation in conduct mo- tivated by a sincerely held religious belief.” Sebelius, 723 F.3d at 1138 (10th Cir. 2013). Although the Town alludes to a bit of a disconnect between the Church’s assertion that it is compelled to allow the poor to “live among you” and its desire to have people live in RVs on Church grounds rather than in homes and residential areas where Church mem- bers live, it does not ultimately dispute the sincerity of the Church’s assertions on this point, which are supported by sworn affidavits. See Doc. 8–4 at 24, 38. And while the Town may eventually show that the Church’s beliefs are not in fact sincere or that there is a non-religious motivation behind the desire to allow people to live on Church property, it has not done so at this point. See Grace United Methodist Church, 451F.3d at 648 (“The jury found that Grace United had failed to prove the proposed operation of the daycare center was a sincere exercise of religion under RLUIPA.”).

To me, live among you means in the church, not an RV on the outer perimeter of the church lawn, 400 feet from the property line.

I also take issue with the use of the RLUIPA to argue that churches can essentially do whatever they want as long as it's a sincerely held religious belief. That is as absurd as Kanye West claiming he should pay no tax because his album is preaching and he's actually operating a church rather than just being an asshole.

I'd like to see RLUIPA amended.

The town's land use code IS the law! This activity isn't permitted. Bring the homeless into the church, don't turn it into a trailer park.

This court just granted the church an injunction preventing enforcement of the law. Although this is America 2024, laws don't seem to matter anymore.
