This is a difficult week for millions of Americans. As the nation prepares to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the horrific attacks of 9/11, we know that this is a time of pain and suffering for thousands who lost family and friends that fateful day. Unfortunately, Mayor Bloomberg still refuses to permit religious leaders to participate…

When I began focusing on constitutional law and religious liberty work nearly a quarter century ago, I still remember vividly the impact that my family had on me and my decision to pursue this calling. I want to share with you an informative interview that I did with Matt Lewis, a senior contributor to The…

The American people understand. The pro-abortion, government-run, costly health care law put forth by President Obama must go. In a new poll, there’s even stronger opposition to ObamaCare. According to Rasmussen, 57% of voters surveyed want to see the health care law repealed. And nearly half of those surveyed – 49% – think the quality…

At a time when family and friends will gather at Ground Zero to commemorate the loss of thousands murdered in the nation’s worst terrorist attack, the remembrance likely will be even more painful for many. Why? Mayor Bloomberg says the city will not permit clergy – any clergy – to participate at the 10th anniversary…

Ten years after the horrific attacks of 9/11, the remains of those murdered that day are still being identified. Thanks to the use of DNA, authorities have now identified another victim from Ground Zero. Ernest James worked with professional services company Marsh & McLennan on the upper levels of the North Tower. The company lost…

The dreaded so-called “Fairness Doctrine” has finally been put to rest. Over the years, nearly 250,000 of you have stood with us – ACLJ members and supporters – adding your name to petitions – sending a powerful message to Washington and the FCC – that regulations like the Fairness Doctrine are damaging and need to…

The problem with the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations is that the world has conceded to the Palestinians the exact result they desire, rather than requiring the result to emerge from bilateral negotiations with the Israelis. Whether there is to exist a two-state solution – and what the borders and qualities of that sovereign and independent state ought…

It’s official. The City of Pittsburgh has repealed a troubling ordinance that banned the distribution of pro-life leaflets. As you may recall, last month I told you that this repeal effort was moving forward and now our legal team has received confirmation that the problematic law is now off the books – once and for…

Something just doesn’t seem right. It appears the Department of Justice has launched a probe of the nation’s largest credit ratings firm, Standard & Poor’s. As I told Martha MacCallum on Fox News, the timing of this development certainly raises a few questions. Just two weeks ago, S&P expressed the ultimate concern about our economy…

I have never understood the mindset of a physician who performs abortions. And, while we frequently focus on organizations (like Planned Parenthood) and policies (like ObamaCare) that promote and fund abortion, it’s the abortion doctor who often stays in the shadows, out of sight, away from publicity.   Well, I’d like to shine a little…
