Judicial Nominee Allison Jones Rushing Is Part of the Far-Right Takeover of Our Nation’s Courts
Pfaw.org ^ | 10/16/18 | Marge Baker

Rushing’s anti-constitutional ideology has come through in other ways, as well. For instance, she co-authored an article evidencing a shocking mischaracterization of both the Establishment Clause and its supporters. She described lawsuits filed by supporters of the Establishment Clause as allowing:

"[E]very village secularist to charge into court with the ACLU and challenge governmental acknowledgements of religion, no matter how passive or benign. These delicate plaintiffs with eggshell sensitivities—who claim deep offense at the acknowledgement of any beliefs that conflict with their own—then seek court orders censoring the religious message, as a type of ‘heckler’s veto. "

Allison Jones Rushing is exactly the kind of ideologue that the far right has long sought to take over our nation’s courts. Her vision of the Constitution excludes those she disfavors and elevates those she aligns with. She should not be confirmed to a lifetime appointment as a federal circuit court judge.

Her description of establishment clause supporters is amazingly accurate.

The 1A doesn’t forbid establishing a religion, it forbids government meddling in a religious establishment.

Congress shall make no law respecting (regarding) an establishment of religion (an establishment of bowling), or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

Here is a link to an interesting short article that discusses the states and their established religions during and after the adoption of the BoR.

Aren’t you guys associated with ‘Right Wing Watch’?

If “People for the American Way” are against her so vehemently, then she must be more than capable....

If CPUSA, i.e. PFAW, doesn’t like her, she’s probably pretty okay with me.

She’s 36, should be making rulings for a long time.
