Faith and Justice

Millions of people around the globe are calling for the release of Christian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who faces the death penalty in Iran because of his Christian faith. As you already know, we continue to work in this country and abroad to secure his release. There are millions praying for his release from jail, where…

It is unbelievable. As you know, there are many war memorials on display across America. In one section of Montana, in honor of the heroes who fought for our freedoms in World War II, a very special memorial was erected nearly 60 years ago. A statue of Jesus was erected on a mountain top in…

I want to thank the more than 100,000 Americans who stood with us and demanded that the U.S. House of Representatives vote to repeal ObamaCare. That’s exactly what happened this afternoon, with five Democrats joining with Republicans to repeal what can only be described as a government-run law that creates a damaging tax, while at…

The fight to challenge ObamaCare is over at the Supreme Court. Now, the focal point is Congress – and specifically the U.S. House of Representatives. House Speaker John Boehner put it bluntly: “This has to be ripped out by its roots. This is government taking over the entire health industry. The American people do not…

Now that the ObamaCare decision is out and the analysis continues, there are more questions about how the Chief Justice reached his conclusion that the penalty provided for failing to purchase health care is actually a tax – a distinction that cleared the way for the individual mandate and ObamaCare to be upheld as constitutional.…

While the Court correctly concluded that the mandate violated the Commerce Clause of the…

It is an issue that we knew would get to the Supreme Court. But what happened yesterday isn’t exactly what we expected. As you know, the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial in San Diego has stood for nearly 60 years. For decades now, there have been legal challenges to get it removed. In 2006, Congress took…

The Supreme Court today unanimously upheld a key provision of Arizona S.B. 1070 – a provision of the law that gives police authority to check the immigration status of a person while enforcing other laws if ‘reasonable suspicion’ exists that the person is in the United States illegally. That’s the good news. The bad news:…

We have discussed the botched DOJ program known as Operation Fast & Furious at length. This has been a very important week, with a House committee approving a contempt citation against Attorney General Holder for his continued stonewalling and refusal to provide documents necessary to reveal how much he knows and when. At the same…

A meeting between Rep. Issa and Attorney General Holder is scheduled to take place late today. Here’s the question: will the meeting and the documents expected to be produced by Holder be enough to hold off a scheduled contempt of Congress vote against Holder set for tomorrow in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee?…
