The Conservative Cave

Denaturalization only requires a "clear and convincing" standard.

The question is: Will the judges allow the evidence and the law to stand or will they puss-out like in 2020 and not want to rock the political boat.

I predict the latter.

This will have to be fought as a political, public opinion fight.

No sympathy for Ugh-Pee in the slightest.

Earlier in Ugh-Pee's incarceration in Skinner's li'l Innnerwebz Insane Asylum, s/h/it posted that at 18 years old, after 3 weeks on the job as a working stiff s/h/it had herself "diagnosed" insane specifically so s/h/it wouldn't have to work for s/h/its own provision going forward.

S/h/it's probably in her late 40s/early 50s now, by my read. I remember when Dubya was the source of everything wrong with Ugh-Pee. When DonaldusMagnus finally retires in 2029, it'll be JD Vance or Marco Rubio who's the new source of all eee-bil. There's no fixing Ugh-Pee, because Ugh-Pee steadfastly refuses to look in the one direction from which every last problem she has originates.

Ugh-Pee refuses to look inward, for even a nanosecond.

When we first moved in, we had a verbal agreement that heating would be included in the rent and that the rent would increase by $50 each year.

Big mistake, the landlord must have seen you arrive in the back of a turnip truck, anyone with a working brain would get a lease!~

Treasury traces SPLC to debanking of Christians after group dismissed it as conspiracy

I wish more debanked orgs were named in the article, but that the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) was one does not surprise me. The ADF has, among other people and groups, represented people/groups the SPLC hates, thus earning the "hate group" label. The ADF is actually worse, by SPLC standards, as it has won such cases ... all the way to the US Supreme Court.

Just as with voter fraud and riots, I suspect we may see some goalpost-moving on this issue. "It doesn't exist" will turn to "it's only 'hate groups'", then who knows?

Treasury traces SPLC to debanking of Christians after group dismissed it as conspiracy

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/investigations/4777156/treasury-traces-splc-debanking-christians-conspiracy-theory/

Federal finance authorities have identified the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate group” labels as the driving force behind the debanking of conservative individuals and organizations, particularly clients that were giving to Christian causes.

The explosive findings directly discredit a recent proclamation from the SPLC declaring, as part of its “Hatewatch” monitoring project, that anti-Christian debanking was a conspiracy theory spread by the “Christian supremacy movement.”

Though only a regulatory audit, fulfilling an executive order from President Donald Trump to ensure that banks were not discriminating against customers on the basis of their political or religious beliefs, the government’s findings add to the SPLC’s latest woes.
...
The 47-page report said the SPLC played a key role in the debanking of, as well as the denial of financial services to, conservative clients wanting to support Christian groups or individuals financially.

But just last year, the SPLC published a “Hatewatch” memo claiming that institutional debanking of the religious Right was an imaginary threat existing only in the minds of Christian supremacists called “dominionists,” those who believe that Christians are “called by God to exercise dominion over every aspect of society” by taking control of all institutions.

In particular, the SPLC alleged that the “anti-LGBTQ+ hate group” Alliance Defending Freedom, a mainstream Christian conservative legal firm known for taking up religious rights cases, was pushing these “conspiratorial claims of Christian victimhood.”
...
It turns out, however, that many of the banks highlighted in the Treasury report were regularly basing their decisions to debank certain disfavored customers on the SPLC’s classification of “hate groups” operating in America.
...
Treasury Department oversight officials say they discovered that PNC Bank declined to issue a line of credit to a media company in late 2021 due to “reputation[al] risk” concerns about its conservative owners.

The situation was brought before the bank’s environmental and social governance group, and employees at the bank allegedly noted that one owner’s foundation “has funded several Christian conservative groups, including several identified as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.”
...
According to the Treasury report, WePay was monitoring for violations of its terms of service using particular search terms and phrases, such as “MAGA,” “Make America Great,” and “America First,” to flag merchants who might be involved in “prohibited activities.”
