He tried to start a small Sabbath prayer meeting in his Ohio home. The mayor told him he needed a special permit ... then told neighbors to surveil and report on him.

No one needs a permit to pray. With our co-counsel, @Orrick, we’ve asked SCOTUS to hear Daniel Grand’s case.

READ: "Justice Neil Gorsuch, who authored the opinion, rebuked the New Jersey attorney general's office, which was led by Matt Platkin at the time the case was brought and is now led by Attorney General Jennifer Davenport. Gorsuch said New Jersey's subpoenas for donor information did not align with longstanding court precedent."

On Jan 13th, join us for a rally on the Supreme Court steps in Washington D.C. That’s the day opening oral arguments begin for 2 cases centered around the protection of women’s sports. Men and women are different. And women and girls deserve their own sports. This is what is at stake. This is what we are fighting for.

“Washington is targeting priests by compelling them to break the sacred confidentiality of confession while protecting other confidential communications, like those between attorneys and their clients,�� John Bursch said.

[Carrie Severino @JCNSeverino]

This has been the case for some time. @ADFLegal’s @john_bursch is right—the science is clearer all the time that gender-transition interventions pose risks for minors. The Court stopped an attempt to shoehorn scientific and policy debates into the Equal Protection Clause.

[Ed Whelan @EdWhelanEPPC]

Big congrats to John Bursch and @ADFLegal.

@howappealing Seriously Howard? You’re promoting this garbage by a pro-abortion activist? You’re better than that.

[Celebrate Life Magazine @ALL_CL_Magazine]

"Loving God's Children," a new book about the Catholic Church and gender ideology by John J. Bursch, is replete with facts, Church teaching, and the truth spoken in great love.
