We’ve been highly critical of Attorney General Jeff Sessions in the past over his needless recusal from anything having to do with the bogus “Russian collusion” scandal currently being dragged out needlessly by special counsel Robert Mueller.
But on just about every other issue, Sessions has been spot-on. He’s been the point man for POTUS Donald Trump in his efforts to enforce all immigration laws. And Sessions has also been a champion regarding the protection of the First Amendment’s religious liberty guarantee.
In October, Sessions signed a memorandum 0utlining “Federal Law Protections for Religious Liberty,” in which he noted that it “is a foundational principle of enduring importance in America, enshrined in our Constitution and other sources of federal law.”
This week he is acting on the memorandum: Sessions has established a new Religious Liberty Task Force within the Justice Department to defend all forms of religious expression.
Notably, as reported by PJ Media, Sessions mentioned one of country’s leading hate groups masquerading as a “civil rights” organization – the Southern Poverty Law Center, or SPLC, which the Left relies on to attack legitimate religious groups (mostly Christian organizations) under the guise of ‘exposing hate, bigotry, and intolerance.’
“A dangerous movement, undetected by many, is now challenging and eroding our great tradition of religious freedom,” Sessions said in Washington, D.C., as he announced the new task force.
Saying the movement “must be confronted and defeated,” the AG added that “one group can actively target religious groups by labeling them a ‘hate group’ on the basis of their sincerely held religious beliefs.”
PJ Media reported further:
Sessions emphasized that the new religious liberty task force represents a sea change from the Obama administration, under which federal agencies often used the SPLC “hate group” markings. His direct reference to the SPLC in his remarks suggested that the new task force may investigate the left-wing smear group.
And if so, would prosecutions follow?
Christian groups see relief ahead
The DoJ notes that the new task force will develop and implement “new strategies” that involve “litigation, policy, and legislation” all with the focus of ensuring that religious liberty is defended and protected.
