This is the world Justice Kavanaugh sanctioned in his foolish & unnecessary concurring opinion to the Court’s order in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo. His hopes of cleaning up that blunder with a plaintive footnote in last week’s concurring opinion in Trump v. Illinois, demonstrates his staggering naïveté.

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.
She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

Begging reporters to make this distinction. She did not "cite" the Bible, she *invoked* the Bible.
"Citing" is this: "According to the Genesis account, 'In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth'" (Genesis 1:1, KJV)."
Just saying "the Bible says" before your claim isn't citing.

There literally wasn't a single citation given. Even when she referred to the Bible--the ONLY text she refers to by name--she couldn't even cite which verses she quoting.
