Male Attorney Who Pretends to Be a Woman Goes After Jack Phillips
What the heck is wrong with Denver attorney “Autumn” Charlie Scardina? Oh yeah, he’s delusional. He thinks he is or wants to be a woman. And he definitely masquerades as one. That’s not an excuse for his reprehensible act of going after Masterpiece Cakeshop baker Jack Phillips, but it may help explain it.
In June 2017, just after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to take Phillips’ case regarding his refusal to bake a cake for a same-sex faux-marriage and in full knowledge that Phillips would refuse his request, Scardina called the bakery to try to order a …
Pew Research Reveals Stark Differences On Abortion Among Religious Groups
A majority of Americans including many mainline Christians support legal abortion, but many religious conservatives say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, according to the Pew Research Center.
Those religious conservatives are now hoping that Roe v. Wade will be overturned in light of President Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, a practicing Catholic, to the U.S. Supreme Court. They’re optimistic that having a fifth conservative on the bench could lead to a reversal of the 1973 landmark case that made abortion a constitutional right. Kavanaugh gave a speech last year in which he praised former …

SCOTUS Healthcare Ruling Endangers Freedom
As you know by now, in a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled today to uphold the core provisions of President Barack Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPAC). By their decision, we now face an egregious threat to American liberty.
This federal legislation contains a highly controversial and unpopular Individual Mandate, which, if not repealed, will force Americans to “buy” federally approved or sponsored healthcare plans or pay a penalty for non-compliance. Contrary to their promises to Congress as well as to the general public, proponents of the PPAC have succeeded in arguing …
SCOTUS Upholds Church Autonomy in Employment Decisions
The United States Supreme Court has issued a monumental decision protecting the independence of American churches in church governance matters.
The High Court ruled that churches have the constitutionally guaranteed freedom to make their own employment decisions free from government interference.
The case involved an employment discrimination lawsuit filed by a teacher against the Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran School in Redford, Michigan. She had been commissioned as a “minister of religion” within the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
The Supreme Court upheld what has become known as the “ministerial exception.” That theory of constitutional law, previously enunciated by appellate courts, stated that churches …
