A newly leaked internal memo from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) shows just how authorities under the Biden administration want to revise the First Amendment and make changes to religious liberty protections under its rights.
The leaked memo showed the government’s plans to “sign delegation of authority on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and religion clause of the First Amendment” to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Lankford showed displeasure on these new developments, claiming that it would endanger Americans’ religious liberty protections and disregard the First Amendment.
“I am an outspoken advocate for religious liberty, and I have a very ‘negative reaction’ to this Administration ignoring the First Amendment and failing to protect Americans of conscience,” Sen. Lankford wrote in a statement, as reported by CBN News. “Americans do not support President Biden and his team’s absolute lawlessness when it comes to upholding Americans’ Constitutional rights-including our right to freely live our faith.”
The leaked memo from the HHS was written by OCR director Lisa J. Pino and recognizes the potential backlash the changes to the First Amendment rights and religious protections will create. The memo said, “The action will likely be well-received among civil rights advocates and litigators, as well as groups advocating for the separation of church and state.”
The memo also read that groups who were in favor of the Trump administration’s “broad view of the application of RFRA” and those who would “interpret this action as an indication that the Department is abdicating its responsibility for compliance with RFRA” will most likely have “strong negative reactions” to the changes.

The traitorous ChiComjoe kakistocracy (from the top down to the lowest paperpusher) will continue to destroy the Constitution and the Bill of Rights until they are tried, convicted, and the sentence for their treason publicly carried out.
Commies tend to do that sort of thing.
What else did we expect from Joseph Stolen...
As per Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver, the RFRA is a crucial legal obstacle for the Biden administration, as it hinders them from enforcing the federal COVID vaccine mandate.
Their first act would be to rule that the Bible is Hate Speech
It is already happening elsewhere
>>just how authorities under the Biden administration want to revise the First Amendment and make changes to religious liberty<<
I just stopped reading here. The high hurdle of amending a constitutional amendment with leftist about to lose control of the house, perhaps the senate...not gonna happen.
My Body My Choice.
And what will the faithful do? They will just trust that it is all part of God’s plan and pray for the final day of judgement.
So this evil plan to kill faith will indeed succeed...
With the 1A, why do we need a “Religious Freedom Restoration Act”? What needs to be “restored”?
Wait, you are expecting a LEGAL change to the First Amendment?
They’d just Executive Order some crazy s((t.
I imagine the RFRA was instituted when the Obama Admin started forcing Catholic charities to provide birth control. It always comes down to rule-making by unconstitutional executive departments.
Part of the reason I blocked my father from my life. My thread was pulled twice today.
My dad made fun of the Father,Son and Holy Ghost. Last straw for me.
God gave us free will. It gets deep. We in faith can stave off things that most nonbelievers would keep inevitable. Hard hearts yearn for trouble
No Offense, but hold my beer.
You can’t kill faith, you can force it underground but you can’t kill it. This will stop soon, Americans are stubborn people and born warriors. It’s how you can tell real Americans from the cheap imports.

Whenever the Dems are in the process of destroying something, they name their actions the polar opposite of its intended effect.. Dear Lord I didn’t think I could detest these people any more than I already did.
“Americans are stubborn people and born warriors”
Some... for most it is...
“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.” Romans 13:1
“Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.” Romans 13:2
That does not surprise me. But that is the Lying son of a bitch that the people decided that they wanted to replace President Trump. That plus $ 10.. a gallon gasoline, groceries so high one can’t afford them [if they can be found] heating fuel who know how expensive it will be. Not high enough, probably. The People spoke loud and clear on November 2020.
Religion in America is on the wane thanks to decades of Godlessness. I doubt we’d hear a peep from the Vatican let alone the Anglican church elders on something like this coming to pass.
Don’t blame God for Biden, that’s the other guy. God doesn’t expect His people to give in to evil.
