I get that this is largely an attempt to rally the base after what's been a morally bankrupt year by the administration, but I really can't stand statements like:
The Constitution does end at the parking lot. That's the whole point of the inclusion in the First, so that what happens inside the church is free from the reach of government. I'm a Christian. The last thing I want is someone's politics in my pew.
I get that he's saying the opposite, that people are free to take their religion wherever, but we had that anyway. Religion isn't confined to a building, it's a person's beliefs, it goes with them always. But dumb stuff like this opens the door the other way, allowing overreach into a church.
