Mat Staver is founder & chairman of Liberty Counsel. Mat is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He’s an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith & Freedom, Freedom’s Call and the TV broadcast, Freedom Alive.
Jim had Mat comment on the following cases, pertinent to your religious freedom:
- In an 8-1 decision in the case of Chiles v. Salazar, the Supreme Court ruled that the ban on (so-called) conversion therapy (actually talk therapy) for minors violates the free speech of licensed counselors. Justice Katanji Brown Jackson was the only dissenting vote.
- There was a settlement agreed to by the city of Louisville, Kentucky, regarding a Christian photographer who was threatened with legal sanction if she did not serve (so-called) same-sex weddings. The photographer was also prohibited by the city from expressing her views on marriage on her own studio website.
- Earlier this month, Mat argued before the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Zinski v. Liberty University. It’s a case involving Jonathan Zinski, who Mat believes, “… intentionally set up Liberty University to try to take them down.” This case could determine the scope of religious liberty protections for faith-based organizations.
- Oral arguments will be given before the Supreme Court tomorrow to settle the issue of birthright citizenship (Trump v. Barbara).
- Also discussed was the “creep” of Islamic Sharia and why Mat believes it’s not compatible with American law. Highlighted was discussion of the “Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act” (H.R.5722/S. 3009) introduced by Representative Chip Roy and Senator Tommy Tuberville.
