Evidently, Obama’s lawyer needs to reread the First Amendment:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
Under the First Amendment, churches are not subject to taxation anyway. Unfortunately, churches made a deal with the devil when they accepted 501(c)(3) status with the IRS.
Churches might protected but not affiliated charities, educational institutions, etc.
That was my thought as well. Using some non-sense based fictionally on the 14th to stomp all over the very clear language of the 1st.
