The Religious Right has launched a new effort to pressure SCOTUS to reverse Obergefell. The coalition includes Evangelicals (eg, Al Mohler, Tony Perkins, Dusty Deevers), Catholics (eg Leonard Leo’s pal Robert George), Jews (Josh Hammer), FRC, members of FRC’s “State Policy Council” network, etc. 1/
3/ By my count, at least 6 of the organizations listed above belong to the Family Research Council’s (FRC) massive state “Family Policy Council” Network. www.frcaction.org/state-fpc
4/ The Family Research Council (FRC) is led by Tony Perkins, Southern Baptist pastor & past president of the Council for National Policy (CNP), a Christian Right umbrella organization. It’s an “umbrella” in that many or most prominent Christian Right organizations have leaders who belong to it.
5/ I’ve posted about Al Mohler before, in part bc P2025 leader Russ Vought’s former underling & good friend, William Wolfe, is Mohler’s former intern. Remember how Russ Vought posted that he was “proud to work with William Wolfe to scope out a sound Christian Nationalism”? bsky.app/profile/jenn...

I worked at a law firm for seven years (I'm not a lawyer). One thing I noticed was that every year, a bill was proposed by a state legislator. It mandated the death penalty for any woman who had an abortion.

The only difference from year to year was the *method* of execution required. One year it was death by hanging, the next by electric chair, then firing squad, lethal injection, etc. etc. etc. I imagine the guy jerked off while writing those bills!

But note, he never lost his office. The voters and the corrupt system kept that psycho securely in place. And this is a famously "liberal" state.
