Conservative Christian advocates faced new attacks this week just as several religious liberty controversies are speeding through the judiciary en route to the Supreme Court.
The conservative Christian advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom came under fire from Democratic Sen. Al Franken this week, as ADF's lawyers are preparing to argue a blockbuster religious liberty controversy before the Supreme Court. ADF will represent a Colorado baker whose refusal to design and make a cake celebrating a same-sex marriage is one of the coming term's highest profile cases, Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission.
During Senate Judiciary Committee hearings this week on Notre Dame law professor Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Franken said Barrett's decision to speak to ADF was irresponsible. The Minnesota Democrat said ADF is "a group that fights against equal treatment of LGBT people" whose "real purpose is to advance an extreme version or vision of society."
Kristen Waggoner, an ADF attorney on the Masterpiece case, called Franken's remarks "shameful" and said the American people "should expect more from our senators."

Senator Al Franken is the epitome of a baby's putrid dirty diaper. He is full of sh!t, and should have been changed a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteReally.
DeleteCome on people, this is Minnesota here! Question here: when was the last time the people of Minnesota elected a responsible adult to represent them?
ReplyDeleteGleason Long: The depressing news is Senator Al Franken does have job security. He will continue to get re-elected by the liberal idiots of Minnesota. He has the letter D after his name. The ONLY way he will leave is by deciding he no longer wants to be a senator or by death. Here in MN, to win the metro vote all you have to say is that you are a progressive, you are pro-choice, support LGBTPDQXYZ and minority communities and you are going to make "the rich" pay "their fair share" (in taxes). Minnesotans have yet to get the message that loons belong on lakes, not in public office.

DeleteEvidently. Thanks.
