During questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh spoke about religious freedom – and his comments confirmed that he is a serious threat to the separation of church and state, and therefore to the religious freedom of all Americans.

As senators question Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, it’s vital that they ask him about his views on church-state separation – which is not only the linchpin of religious freedom, but also informs his views on many other crucial issues including reproductive rights, health care access, LGBTQ equality, and the rights of immigrants and religious minorities.

Americans United joined hundreds of civil rights and child welfare organizations this week in urging members of Congress to reject this cruel proposal.
