Whaaaaaat? Jeffie won't TOLERATE us? Why, bless his lil ol' hearrrrt!

Sessions, just like his boss, is a tool of Christian extremism, and this is part of a greater agenda. As Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, himself a Baptist minister noted:

"In reality, these arguments boil down to one thing: discrimination. It is not enough for Christian nationalists to freely exercise their vision of a good life. In the name of 'liberty,' they want the right to discriminate against those with whom they disagree."

CHURCH...........................STATE
Not that complicated Beauregard!

Once again, we have the GOPot calling the kettle black. Religious nut jobs want to wail about how dangerous secularism is when they are the ones destroying the country.

Strange that so many today suffer because they are not allowed to worship in the faith of their choice. These same people put a feast on the days of thanksgiving when it was days of prayer, then add the big dinner with the Indians. Imagine again that America is a Christian nation because these same folks left England because the mean old King would not let them practice their religion. It's all a borrowed story, folks. Borrowed just like most of the stories in the bible.

he's a f'n jackass

Religious liberty is freedom from religion

He is a real growing pain in my ass and his religion with their spooky friends is more of a problem than the secularism will ever be.

Jeff Sessions' interpretation of "religious freedom" seems to be that all Americans are free to share his religious beliefs.

But that's just my take on it.

The way things are going and lots of people in this country scare me

Please no!

These people are really pushing for a war.

How can it be allowed to have this type of govt sponsored task force in a country founded on religious freedom and a separation of church and state. This is going way too far

Ugh. He makes me sick.

We are all going to be living Handmaiden's Tale very soon.

I guess it doesn't take much more of a step from cherry picking bible quotes to doing the same with the Bill Of Rights, namely that pesky Ninth Amendment "The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Which plays quite nicely into the First "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

I say we refocus our efforts into impeaching Jeff Sessions. This is a two strike Constitutional offense that can not be allowed to carry on, and should not have been allowed to begin.

Let's be clear: all that the evangelicals are concerned with is their liberty to discriminate against everyone else. Their "liberty" to deny same-sex couples the right to marry... ideally the right to even openly be couples. Their "liberty" to openly hate. Their "liberty" to shut other religions, as well as atheists and agnostics, out of the public square. Their "liberty" to dictate public policy by controlling the party in power.

They already have the liberty to believe and do as they want under the law. The law forbids discrimination, because we are a secular society. They want us to be a religious society where "Christian" morality is the rule. And there's no such thing. "Christian" morality means you're free to discriminate against anyone who's not a Christian.

They'd love to be able to take us down to the dungeon and torture us, for our own good of course.. bastards..

This sounds like a clear violation of the Establishment Clause to me.

Let’s hope that he falls down dead from a heart attack from eating too many gravy n biscuits.

Just to be clear, a lawmaker (I forget who) pointed out that the separation of church and state really doesn't protect atheism. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

I'm not sure how it would be interpreted if put to the supreme court, but IMO that wording protects religions and in no way protects non-religious entities or individuals. If there is something else I'm not aware of that does protect atheism I'd love to hear it.
