Capitol Hill Brief — What’s at Stake
This week, we’ve been discussing the Trinity Lutheran v. Pauley religious liberty case that was argued at the Supreme Court by our friends at the Alliance Defending Freedom.

Capitol Hill Brief — Strike it Down
Here is a fact for you. Out of the 44 nonprofits that applied for a playground surface government grant in Missouri, Trinity Lutheran’s application was ranked #5. Yet, the school was denied solely because it was run by a church. That’s what religious discrimination looks like. And it was the case the Supreme Court […]

As we celebrate Easter this Sunday, I want to leave you with the words of Jesus in John 12, where He said: The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone; but […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Christians Need Not Apply?
As we reflect on the fight for the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch, I want you to consider the impact we have when we work together.

How the Left’s “Inclusion” Rhetoric Excludes
I have been bombarded by the media pushing a leftist political agenda my entire life. Since my high school years, when I first noticed their deliberate attempts to push their particular perspective on me, they seem to be getting even more crass and up front in their efforts. I remember the first time Snapchat got […]

Capitol Hill Brief — Gorsuch’s Commitment Issues
They’ve tried any and every way they can, but Democratic senators in the judiciary committee have been “punching the wind,” so to speak, as they try to land a blow on President Trump’s highly qualified nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Neil Gorsuch. Sen. Feinstein pressed him on his policy preferences on several liberal […]

Capitol Hill Brief — A Gavel, Not a Rubber Stamp
During His confirmation hearings, Judge Neil Gorsuch commented on his role as a judge by saying “They gave me a gavel, not a rubber stamp.” And that, “Nobody is above the law,” no matter what their social status. Members of both parties have nothing to fear from a judge like that — one who […]
Capitol Hill Brief — Inappropriate Ginsburg
Here’s something we won’t hear from Judge Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court: more political commentary, like the continuously inappropriate comments of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
