					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Daniel Horowitz</em></p>
<p>To this day, courts insist you have no right to bodily autonomy when it comes to coerced vaccination and forced masking. They cite the “police powers” of the state as justification. But when the state uses those same powers to regulate public nudity or sexually explicit drag shows in front of children, suddenly the judiciary rediscovers the First Amendment.</p>
<p>In 2023, Florida Gov. <strong>Ron DeSantis</strong> signed <a class="rm-stats-tracked" href="https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/1438/BillText/er/HTML" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SB 1438</a>, a commonsense law that barred businesses from knowingly admitting children to “adult live performances.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2025/05/the-courts-side-with-drag-queens-over-parents-again/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>President Joe Biden plans to propose sweeping changes to the U.S. Supreme Court, according to recent reports. This includes legislation to impose term limits for justices, which would have the most immediate impact on the longest-serving members of the court, Justices <strong>Clarence Thomas</strong> and <strong>Samuel Alito</strong>. He is also expected to push for an enforceable code of ethics.</p>
<p>Due to recent decisions that haven’t gone his way, Biden is now joining the radical Left to attack the U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/biden-plans-to-support-sweeping-changes-to-the-scotus/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The U.S. Supreme Court works in strange and mysterious ways.</p>
<p>It can enrage the progressive left with a solidly constitutional ruling like <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization</em> (2022), which overturned <em>Roe v. Wade</em> and sent the issue of abortion to the states.</p>
<p>But it can also amaze and frustrate conservatives, as when it refused before and after the 2020 election to review Pennsylvania officials’ unconstitutional changes to election procedures.</p>
<p>“We failed to settle this dispute before the election and thus provide clear rules.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/07/scotus-missed-opportunity-to-uphold-freedom-of-speech/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe, but our &#8220;news&#8221; media think U.S. Supreme Court Justice <strong>Samuel Alito</strong>&#8216;s wife hanging a flag upside-down outside their home for a few days is a much more serious matter than an attempted assassination of Justice <strong>Brett Kavanaugh</strong> in 2022. That story was quickly squashed.</p>
<p>Start with taxpayer-funded National Public Radio, which never managed to produce a single feature story on the foiled Kavanaugh assassination but has provided multiple stories in the Alito flag frenzy.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/05/smearing-alito-and-thomas-as-racist-insurrectionists/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Another day, another vote-buying scheme from the Biden regime.</p>
<p>[Last] week, President Biden announced $7.7 billion in bailouts to 160,000 more people who owe money on their student loans. Never mind that the U.S. Supreme Court said he had no authority to shift the burden to taxpayers. Under this regime, the U.S. Constitution is Silly Putty.</p>
<p>Expecting people to repay loans for which they agreed to the terms is what Democrats might call “a threat to democracy.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/05/turning-america-into-a-3rd-world-country/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>This week, the U.S. Supreme Court released an <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/022024zor_7647.pdf" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer" data-wpel-link="external" data-feathr-click-track="true" data-feathr-link-aids="61bcd6cd9eb00044a676f96b">order list</a> taking action on several cases we’ve been watching.</p>
<p>Most notably, the Court declined to review <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/23-203.html" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer" data-wpel-link="external" data-feathr-click-track="true" data-feathr-link-aids="61bcd6cd9eb00044a676f96b"><em>Missouri Department of Corrections vs. Finney</em></a>.

This includes a direct reference to First Liberty’s Supreme Court victory in <em>Carson v. Makin.</em></p>
<p>In this case, multiple conservative Christians were excluded from a jury in an employment discrimination case brought by a lesbian plaintiff.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/02/scotus-takes-action-on-several-religious-freedom-cases/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The U.S. Supreme Court is under all-out attack. Recent headlines reveal a concerted effort to manufacture an “ethics” scandal about Justice <strong>Clarence Thomas</strong>, the Court’s leading conservative and one of the foremost defenders of religious liberty. Justice <strong>Neil Gorsuch</strong> has also been the target of this smear campaign.</p>
<p>Democrats in Congress, along with their allies in left-wing radical groups and the media, are bringing back calls for radical court “reform.” A constitutionally suspect “judicial ethics” bill was introduced and the U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/05/exposing-the-radical-effort-to-destabilize-the-supreme-court/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>In our materialistic modern age, we sometimes need reminders that Lucifer is real and up to no good. And that God is infinitely more powerful.</p>
<p>Years ago, LGBTQ activists picketed a church in Anchorage, Alaska, because the church opposed a gay rights ordinance. The protesters noticed a guy dressed in a devil suit with a pitchfork marching beside them. When they asked what he was doing, he said, “Oh, the pastor sent me out here.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/02/perverting-and-despoiling-what-god-has-created/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Terence P. Jeffrey</em></p>
<p>Chief Justice <strong>John Roberts</strong> and Justice <strong>Brett Kavanaug</strong>h, both nominated by Republican presidents, have both written absurd opinions on abortion laws.</p>
<p>The case of <a href="https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/dobbs-v-jackson-womens-health-organization/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women&#8217;s Health</em></a>, which the U.S. Supreme Court will hear this year, could give them an opportunity to redeem themselves.</p>
<p>At issue in this case is a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after a baby&#8217;s 15th gestational week. The question: Can a state prohibit doctors from killing unborn babies who are not yet old enough to survive outside the womb?&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2021/05/will-roberts-and-kavanaugh-stand-with-the-unborn-or-the-unjust/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Six months ago, the idea of expanding the size of the U.S. Supreme Court was side-stepped by presidential candidate <strong>Joe Biden</strong>, and the issue seemed to wane. But now, “court packing” has surfaced once again—and in two forms. The first is an executive order from President Biden <a href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whitehouse.gov%2Fbriefing-room%2Fstatements-releases%2F2021%2F04%2F09%2Fpresident-biden-to-sign-executive-order-creating-the-presidential-commission-on-the-supreme-court-of-the-united-states%2F&#38;data=04%7C01%7CRiderRA%40GCC.EDU%7C18296f5e9147455ecfc808d909a76c7d%7C8391896022184cd381fe302a8e771da9%7C0%7C0%7C637551436956134151%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&#38;sdata=D4CPuRFi4L4ijbAyGazpMfJZR1DW8WZ2vES32bswZDc%3D&#38;reserved=0">creating a commission</a> to study possible reforms of the U.S. Supreme Court.

<p>As the American political world gears up for what promises to be one of the most acrimonious, bitter, and embarrassing confirmation hearings in the history of the federal judiciary, I&#8217;m curious if anyone has picked up on a common theme when it comes to these reputation desecrations we call senatorial &#8220;advise and consent.&#8221;</p>
<p>Out of sheer curiosity I conducted an informal, and extraordinarily unscientific survey of a small group of 5 politically aware colleagues and friends.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/09/this-only-happens-when-republicans-nominate-judges/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>“Separation of church and state.” There may be no reference to, inference of, insinuation of, or display of religion anywhere in any government operation or public school, even if there is no coercion to participate in any Christian event or prayer. That is enshrined in every clause of the U.S. Constitution.</p>
<p>That is essentially what the Left has been telling us for years, and those principles have been enforced to varying degrees in many lower courts and, intermittently, even by the U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/10/no-to-voluntary-christian-prayer-in-schools-yes-to-mandatory-muslim-prayer/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Soon the U.S. Senate will hold hearings as to whether or not to confirm Judge <strong>Brett Kavanaugh</strong> to the U.S. Supreme Court. One can only imagine the fireworks to come.</p>
<p>Beware of the Saul Alinsky model of the politics of personal destruction. <strong>Saul Alinksy</strong>, a Marxist and the father of the community organizers, wrote <em>Rules for Radicals </em>(1971), in which he states, “In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands <em>above </em>the belt” (pp.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/07/dont-let-them-bork-judge-kavanaugh/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>Written by Daniel Horowitz</p>
<p>This week, President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> fulfilled his promise to nominate a very qualified and intelligent conservative judge. <strong>Neil Gorsuch</strong> is likely a very good pick. However, <a href="https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2017/01/what-conservatives-want-in-a-supreme-court-justice">given the past history</a>, the enormous post-constitutional pressure even in some circles of the conservative legal movement, and so much terrible court precedent, it is yet to be determined if Gorsuch has the resolve to not get sucked into the swamp.</p>
<p>This point was best encapsulated in a statement from U.S.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2017/02/7-reasons-neil-gorsuchs-nomination-is-only-the-beginning-of-taking-back-the-judiciary/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
