This decision is as important as the Kennedy prayer case. Not good.

Preaching godliness is not, indeed can not be, “hate.”

To those who hate the truth, the truth looks like hate.

And Mr. Justice Clarence Thomas is the GOAT.

How is SPLC funded, and is there any way we can defund them?

The court concluded that SPLC’s “hate group” designation was not provably false because “‘hate group’ has a highly debatable and ambiguous meaning.”

This is actually a serious problem. Should not the person making a claim bear the burden of proof? SPLC should be compelled to define what it means by "hate group" so that Coral Ridge can actually mount a defense.

(because of its biblical views concerning human sexuality and marriage)

Rejection of God’s plans and Word is why He is going to allow this world 🌎🌍 to get Satan’s anti-messiah as a cruel ruler for 7 years. /Preaching to the choir

And by ‘peace’ shall he destroy many.

Daniel 8:23-25
King James Version

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

What was the breakdown of the justices on the denial, or is that number not published?

Again, justice Thomas leads by dissent based on principled judicial reasoning not precedents.

Much of the BLM guilt donations from corporations went directly to SPLC.
They are flush with cash and radical lawyers.

Much of their funding is obtained by frightening old Jewish women with illusory threats of “neo-nazis”.

Who cares? We all know what the SPLC is, why would I care who they designate as a hate group? They have no more standing to label anything then I do.

The court concluded that SPLC’s “hate group” designation was not provably false because “‘hate group’ has a highly debatable and ambiguous meaning."

The Left cherishes ambiguous language for exactly this reason. They can convince people of proposition X without officially taking the indefensible position that proposition X is actually true when called out.

Even in non derogatory matters they will say "climate change is real" hoping to convince people that there is an actionable emergency situation with the climate. But when called out on it they can point out they only said the climate changes, which is true.

They will say "Black Lives Matter" hoping to convince people that there is an epidemic of cops mowing down countless innocent black victims and that police need to be defunded and indoctrinated. However when called out on it, they will pretend they meant simply that black lives do matter, which is of course true.

The “actual malice” standard from the 1964 Times v. Sullivan case does need to be re-examined, but apparently the other originalists didn’t think this was the right case to do so.

Start down that road and lose and the horrible standards will only be strengthened.

But grifting from behind Jesus’ robe is disgusting.

What does what I posted mean?

It means that SPLC sends out a bunch of fundraising propaganda in the mail, and by other means. Much of that propaganda consists of hysterical fearmongering about “neo-nazis” (whatever those are). The propaganda is targeted at elderly Jewish people, particularly women, intending to secure donations from them to the SPLC. SPLC are scumbags.

Did I really have to spell it out for you?
