That Coach We Mentioned? Too Busy On The MAGA Paid Political Speaking Circuit -- To Even Apply For A "Coaching" Job... Hilarious!

We mentioned this case, and Justice Sotomayor's fine dissent in late June. Even though the coach was never fired (he declined to apply to renew his year to year teaching assignment, in Washington state, choosing instead to go to Florida). . . five of the Supremes, based on misstatements by lawyers for the coach, deemed him "fired" -- and ordered him "reinstated".

But as this fine Seattle Times piece points out. . . he's not bothered to apply. See, he is "too busy" speaking at Tangerine and MAGA / X-ian events, for pay to bother with coachin' young public school boys. In fact, the sense of it is, he's not teaching or coachin' anywhere (not even in Florida). Soon enough, though -- his appeal, like Tangerine's -- will die out. And his old job won't have an application, or openings for him. I'm. . . cool with that:

. . .In the end, it all was too complicated. The effect of the court’s order is that Bremerton has to reinstate someone who didn’t apply for the job then and doesn’t appear eager for it now. It’s as if the justices wanted to script an ending for a Christian redemption movie. But real life isn’t cooperating. . . .

[And, from the Wise Latina Justice:] . . .Properly understood, this case is not about the limits on an individual’s ability to engage in private prayer at work. This case is about whether a school district is required to allow one of its employees to incorporate a public, communicative display of the employee’s personal religious beliefs into a school event, where that display is recognizable as part of a longstanding practice of the employee ministering religion to students as the public watched.

A school district is not required to permit such conduct; in fact, the Establishment Clause prohibits it from doing so. . . .

Onward, grinning -- looking toward Atlanta, and the Eleventh Circuit, this afternoon. . . .
