    States cannot tax citizens for evangelistic purposes. It is well-established in the courts. It is a violation of the establishment clause and a gross violation (yes, I said a violation) of religious freedom…you know, to practice a religion that isn’t a Judeo-Christian one. Facts.

    Spoiler, Walters is 100% buying the Trump Bibles anyway. All this does is open the bidding a tiny bit more. Sure, someone can do a FOIA request and ask to see the bids, but they’ll ignore it. The Oklahoma State AG is currently sueing the Oklahoma State Department of Education for ignoring the AG’s own information requests. It’s just $5-6 million for Trump out of OK schools. But hey, it’s one of the best school systems if you flip the list up side down.

    The request was amended Monday and no longer requires the Bibles to include U.S. historical documents

    Really went the wrong direction on that one. It isn’t the Constitution or Declaration of Independence that are problematic.
