Squeezing the Church for Political Ends
The biggest news from Tuesday's Supreme Court arguments isn't news at all to conservatives: Same-sex "marriage" is a threat to religious freedom. For once, that revelation didn't come from one of the lawyers on our side but from the Obama administration's own attorney. In a rare moment of candor, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli sent a clear signal on where this debate is headed, and it isn't to the marriage altar.
As the President's chief attorney made stunningly clear, redefining marriage is -- and has never been -- the end goal of homosexuals. Silencing dissent is. And you can't silence dissent without punishing speech and belief -- which is apparently what the government has in mind if the Court rules in the Left's favor.
