Zitat des Tages von Josh Hawley:
American business needs more conscience, not less, whether from religious motivation like Hobby Lobby or from secular intentions.
Despite what one might gather from the shrill rantings of the leftist commentariat, for whom religion is a sort of disease, religious difference in the United States has rarely led to serious social strife. That is no small achievement, and one that virtually no other Western democracy can boast.
The Constitution treats religious belief as uniquely special, uniquely central to the dignity of the human person, and, for that reason, beyond the power of the state to control.
If people can't expect their government to be honest and clean, they can't expect anything from it.
The Constitution has never treated religion as merely another private opinion that government can order people to keep to themselves.
I will not let the interests of powerful corporations close our economy or jeopardize consumers.
I don't take anything that I read in the newspaper at face value on either side - from anybody.
I am firmly of the view that the Missouri citizens deserve transparent and accountable government, especially in the expenditure of their tax dollars.
I said I would be part of the solution in Jefferson City, not part of the problem. And I said I'd take on the culture of corruption.
The Supreme Court has been clear that states have the right to protect their citizens against out-of-state regulations that would burden those citizens.
It's far from clear that restoring Christian social authority is an appropriate aim of politics in the first place.
For those of us on the front lines fighting Washington's power grabs, Judge Gorsuch's commitment to interpreting the Constitution and the laws as they are actually written is welcome news.
Facts are often complicated.
The federal government does not have the authority to tell landowners and ranchers and farmers that they can't farm and ranch their land because someday an endangered species might live there.
The people in Washington are getting rich with our money. Under President Barack Obama, the federal government swelled to record size, and it took more and more of our money to pay for it. Who benefitted? Not Missouri farmers or workers.
Where we see corruption and can make a case against it, we're being aggressive.
My view is that Roe v. Wade had no basis in law or fact.
My first job out of law school was on the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, where Gorsuch is a judge. I observed in the year that I worked at the court what many litigants and commentators have since noted: that Gorsuch possesses an incisive legal mind, writes with skill and wit, and is scrupulously fair.
Through the 1980s and '90s, evangelicals sought to turn back the forces of secularization. Groups like the Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition pressed for laws recognizing Christianity's unique place in American life, including laws that would allow prayer in public schools and Christian displays in public places.
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act extends religious liberty to corporations without regard to their for-profit and non-profit status.
As attorney general, I have a duty to defend the laws and constitution of the State of Missouri.
I want to know what kind of personal, private, confidential information that Google collects from its users.
American workers and American entrepreneurs can compete with anybody, anywhere if our government will stop making America a cost-prohibitive place to do business.
