SCOTUS Blocks Oklahoma Religious Charter School [1]

This just in:
The Supreme Court on Thursday effectively ended a publicly funded Catholic charter school in Oklahoma, dividing 4-4. The outcome keeps in place an Oklahoma court decision that invalidated a vote by a state charter school board to approve the St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School, which would have been the nation’s first religious charter school. But it leaves the issue unresolved nationally. The one-sentence notice from the court provides an unsatisfying end to one of the term’s most closely watched cases.
Justice Barrett, in a rare display of judicial ethics, recused herself because one of her besties is an advisor to the school.
The tie ruling means that separation of church and state is intact for now, but don’t hold your breath. And it’s also why you will never see Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, or Kavanaugh recuse in big cases. They know they’re wrong, but they need to establish the theocracy.
A tiny bright light in an otherwise suck filled year. Honestly, it’s only the end of May and we have three and a half more years of this?
