Faith and Justice

A federal court in Texas did exactly what a federal appeals court did just three months ago. Shut down a legal challenge by the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), an atheist group.   A federal judge rejected FFRF’s lawsuit targeting the Day of Prayer in Texas scheduled for August 6th. The group went to court…

I just wrote about a disturbing new lawsuit by an atheist organization that is trying to stop the display of a cross at Ground Zero – part of a museum being built to commemorate the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001. You already know that we will be filing an amicus brief backing the constitutional display of…

Here we go again.   An atheist organization files a lawsuit. They are offended. This time the target: a Cross placed at the World Trace Center Memorial and Museum at Ground Zero. It is unbelievable that these lawsuits keep coming. As you may recall, lawsuits by atheist organizations have failed repeatedly – in challenging the National…

What’s interesting is that while the President is no longer directly involved in the negotiations to solve our nations’ budget crisis, he continues to issue threats and engage in a campaign of fear and intimidation – trying to scare Americans – refusing to guarantee that Social Security checks, military paychecks, and crucial entitlements will go…

In May, I told you about an important brief we filed at a federal appeals court urging that our federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of ObamaCare go forward.   Today, we filed an additional brief that bolsters our argument. In this brief, posted here, we reject the Justice Department’s position that the individual mandate is…

I wanted to bring you an update on a case that we’ve been involved in since last year – a case that has significant ramifications for the First Amendment.   As you may recall, we secured an important victory in federal court last fall against the City of Pittsburgh. The issue: an ordinance that violated the…

Last week I told you about a major victory in our lawsuit to prevent the shutdown of pro-life pregnancy centers. In a stinging rebuke of the pro-abortion agenda, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction preventing a law from going into affect that would have effectively shut down pro-life pregnancy centers in New York City,…

We’re watching developments very closely in Pennsylvania as the state legislature considers an important bill to repeal a 116-year-old discriminatory law that bars public school teachers from wearing religious symbols in the classroom.   There’s been a law on the books since 1895 that effectively punishes teachers who exercise their First Amendment rights. Under the…

Just a few days ago, I posted an update concerning our legal case challenging the construction of an Islamic mosque at Ground Zero in New York City.  The court ruled that our client, Tim Brown, a 9-11 first responder and firefighter, did not have legal standing to file our lawsuit. The court got it wrong.…

There was a problem with New York City Local Law #17 from the very start. It singles out and targets pro-life advocates – crisis pregnancy centers – in New York City. The requirements are burdensome and, quite frankly, unconstitutional. This ordinance requires crisis pregnancy centers to post signs in the lobbies of their counseling centers,…
