    In a 4-to-4 decision, the court upheld a ruling by the Oklahoma Supreme Court that blocked the school.

    An evenly divided Supreme Court rejected a plan on Thursday to allow Oklahoma to
    use government money to run the nation’s first religious charter school, which
    would teach a curriculum infused by Catholic doctrine.

    In a tie, the court split 4 to 4 over the Oklahoma plan, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett recusing herself from the case, and the decision provided no reasoning.

    That deadlock means that an earlier ruling by the Oklahoma Supreme Court will be
    allowed to stand. The state court blocked a proposal for the Oklahoma school, St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School, which was to be operated by the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and the Diocese of Tulsa, and aimed to incorporate Catholic teachings into every aspect of its activities.

    The religious right is wrong. "Christian nationalists" are Nazi filth.

    Excellent news!

    The wingerdingers will go judge shopping for another case that doesn't
    involve Barrett's previous relationship with a Catholic school (Notre
    Dame).

    But at least she had the basic integrity to recuse herself, sleazebag
    Clarence Thomas wouldn't have.
