Because it sets precedent that one must prove with a government clergyman that they have a faith... a sincere religious objection.
I figured that one out myself it just didn't seem that consequential to me, Christians won't say that other Christians aren't Christian.
Besides, that was the policy previously and the judge didn't amend the Marine policy he just ruled that they have to follow the law.
No. That may have been the marine corps rules but it had no legal precedent. Through history you NEVER had to "prove" your faith to the government. A mere claim was enough. I mean the ruling is correct certainly, but the 'opinion' and the manner in which it was handed down is rife for abuse in future cases.
For the "same" (kinda opposite but the same) reason when those 500+ hospital ex employees sued the hospital for this same reason and was settled for a paltry amount each. People are heralding that as a win and I'm here sitting "lol no that's a loss". No precedent has been set due to it being settled.
