President Trump and the members of his administration can attempt to dress up their agenda in all the 'civil religion' and 'religious freedom' verbiage they want. It’s an ill-fitting costume, and the truth keeps peeking through.

The framers of the Constitution believed that houses of worship should not receive tax dollars. They didn’t feel this way because they were hostile to religion – far from it. The Founding Fathers understood that faith communities prosper when voluntarily supported by members.

Which is more plausible: Kavanaugh doesn’t recall information about a controversial issue on which he sought to be the point person, or he found it politically advantageous to let those details slip his mind so he wouldn’t have to answer difficult questions about using taxpayer dollars to discriminate against LGBTQ people?
