Episode Details

A federal judge just blocked a lawsuit challenging President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, ruling that Trump had broad discretion in appointing members — even though critics argued the commission was unbalanced, with mostly conservative Christians and just one rabbi. The judge emphasized that while advisory commissions must reflect diverse viewpoints, the law doesn’t mandate specific proportions. He also dismissed concerns that the commission undermines church-state separation, noting its diversity across religions and professions, and pointing out that the executive order explicitly ties religious liberty to civil rights — making it unnecessary to include dissenting voices on that core principle.
