Has there always been a White House faith office?

[–] [email protected] 97 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No, totally unconstitutional.

Does anyone know the correct procedure to challenge it? It's only illegal if the laws are enforced.

You need to have standing, which if the only impact is Congress's budget then only Congress does.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flast_v._Cohen for establishment clause standing by regular taxpayers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hein_v._Freedom_From_Religion_Foundation for the court throwing that out for the executive. They'd likely throw the whole thing out now.

And Trump says it is to protect Christians because they're being heavily persecuted. Those poor poor Christians.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've never met a more prosecuted majority in my life. 😔

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that prosecuted or persecuted? Hmmm, actually both fit perfectly in your sentence

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, right, I forgot English makes that distinction. Thanks for reminding me!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm interested! I thought both words derive from Latin prosequi/persequi and had essentially the same meaning as modern English. Which language do you speak?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They do, but in modern English it helps to break them down via the root words, here specifically the pro and per prefixes. Sequi is "follow," while pro essentially means forward, with prosecute to be follow forward. Persecute takes the same sequi but per is now *through," as in follow through. Both of which have legal origin, but the differentiation is that prosecute is to "follow forward" in a court of law, almost as an ante, while persecute being "follow through" is more of a present verb signifying current action.

Edit: this website is a great resource for breaking down words for meaning and origins.

Tough to be a rich white christian man in the richest country these days…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

USA isn't the richest country...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

How are you defining richest? Of course it's not richest percapita.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Welp. Time to meet their expectations.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Always- no.

Since G.W. Bush? Yes.

Obama and Biden kept it going, Biden actually restored it after Trump 45 left it to languish.
