Legal arguments presented by AU’s lawsuit include that the Trump rules violate religious freedom because the government is unconstitutionally giving preference to certain religious beliefs, and that it’s doing so in a way that overtly harms people. The rules are also unlawful because the administration didn’t follow proper federal procedures to enact them, AU asserts.

When we asked which church-state issues voters found most compelling, the answer was clear: Americans are concerned about 'religious freedom' being used as a license to discriminate both in employment and concerning health care access. This issue has been in the news a lot lately, so maybe it’s not surprising it topped the list.

The Trump adminis­tration’s steady stream of rules that authorize discrimination in the name of 'religious freedom' has risen to the level that members of Congress are taking notice.
