Six Supreme Court justices misread my children's book, the author says

Adam Klasfeld, one of the most respected legal reporters in the country and founder of All Rise News, takes a deep dive into a Supreme Court ruling that turns a heartwarming children’s book—Uncle Bobby’s Wedding—into a flashpoint in the culture wars.

The book’s author, Sarah S. Brannen, speaks directly to Adam and MeidasTouch in a moving interview that reveals just how far the majority opinion stretched to twist the book’s meaning.

Justice Samuel Alito and his conservative peers suggested that the book’s young girl Chloe might be uncomfortable with her Uncle Bobby getting married because his longtime boyfriend Jamie is a man, but Brannen says that’s false.

“I always said that the book would be identical if Bobby were marrying a woman named Jamie,” Brannen said in a phone interview hours after the Supreme Court’s ruling. “The story is about a family. The fact that the men are gay is not what the book is about. It’s part of the fabric of the big, wide, diverse country that we live in.”

They are doing exactly what Leonard Leo wants. Automatic decisions based on their hyper conservative religion. Our very own Taliban.
