Should parents’ religious beliefs allow them to remove their children from compulsory schooling? In this landmark 1972 case, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Amish, recognizing a powerful intersection between parental rights and the Free Exercise Clause. But what does this decision mean for religious liberty today—and does it still hold in modern debates over education?

@nicknam02636181 @matthewlohmeier @TomFitton Not quite the process. A Bd of Inquiry/show cause is how we admin fire an officer so that is separate. A court-martial is governed entirely by UCMJ. Someone sr to the General would have to be the convening authority.

[Mike Berry @MikeBerryUSA]

@nicknam02636181 @matthewlohmeier @TomFitton The Convening Authority must be senior in rank, so it could be SecDef or a service sec. More difficult is that the members (jury) must also be senior in rank. But the process is the same under the UCMJ.

@simmonsactual @realDonaldTrump @PeteHegseth Superb work!

I recently heard @PeteHegseth speak at an event in Nashville. Several things stood out. 1) He gets it. He understands the cultural rot that has infested DOD. 2) He is willing to take decisive action to change the status quo. 3) He cares deeply for our nation and our troops.

Perhaps if the Obama and Biden Admins hadn’t shown such blatant hostility towards Christians this would be a thing. Screenshots from actual DOD trainings 👇🏼

[POLITICO @politico]

Trump’s pick to run the Pentagon has embraced an aggressive form of Christianity that is at war with the military’s nonpartisan and pluralistic culture.

Federal judge says the Naval Academy can use race-based admissions. I say the DOD is being disingenuous. Thankfully, @PeteHegseth will have the chance to fix it. My thoughts on DEI in the DOD:

My thoughts on how @PeteHegseth can fix our military's recruiting crisis. Reject the woke ideology and MAGA! https://t.co/0kQzcvLCgd

"They" are doing a classic drip campaign.

Each day they “drip” a new fact/allegation/witness/story. Like a leaky faucet. Drip drip drip until they either pull the nom or he withdraws.

Look at the media stories from the past week or two. There’s nothing “new” there. They’ve been sitting on them. It’s to create the impression of “Oh, what else don’t we know??”

It happens to @MikeBerryUSA's clients. The worst are the military commanders who engage in whisper campaigns in order to prevent people coming to the defense of those under fire. The tell tale sign is when otherwise good people keep their powder dry bc they’ve been told “there’s more to the story.”

The Supreme Court overturned so-called “Chevron deference” earlier this year which is a seismic blow to the federal bureaucracy. Under the old doctrine, federal courts deferred to agency interpretation of ambiguous statutes. As of 2024, that’s no longer the case. Here are some facts:

Lower federal courts have relied upon Chevron somewhere between 17,000 - 19,000 judicial opinions.

A 2022 study found that federal appellate courts applied Chevron in ~85% of cases involving federal agency interpretations of law interpretation is at stake. In ~60% of these cases, the court concluded that the statute was ambiguous (“Chevron Step One”) and proceeded to determine whether the agency’s interpretation was reasonable (“Chevron Step Two”).

Once federal courts of appeals reached that point framework, they sided with the agency 77% of the time.

A separate study evaluated more than 1,300 courts of appeals cases from 2003 to 2013 & found a 94% rate of judicial deference to the agency position, at Chevron Step Two.

The overturning of Chevron deference, combined with the Major Questions Doctrine enshrined in West Virginia vs. EPA, paves the way for not slight but *drastic* downsizing in the scope of the federal regulatory state.

It’s pretty amazing to see this groundswell of Patriots who want to see real leadership return to our government.
