The Establishment Clause—now apparently a historical artifact.

A federal appeals court just upheld Texas’s Ten Commandments law on that logic. That's where things are heading.

Paula White compares Trump to Jesus during event with faith leaders: "You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. Because of His resurrection, you rose up."

Breaking: We've sued the Trump administration over the mail voting executive order. It's illegal. Unworkable. And anti-democratic. It would block eligible voters from casting ballots. We're representing civic groups in this challenge, with other voting groups as co-counsel. https://t.co/BeC0rSuOFU

Huge win for the First Amendment 👏

We are glad to have helped secure this ruling: Arkansas cannot use government power to promote one religion while shutting everyone else out.

The Constitution demands neutrality — and the court got it right. This monument must come down.
