Earlier this week, President Donald J. Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to be the next U.S. Supreme Court justice. Americans United opposes Kavanaugh’s nomination because his record as an attorney and federal judge indicates that he won’t uphold church-state separation. Not surprisingly, leaders of the Religious Right feel differently. They’re fired up over the prospect of Justice Kavanaugh.  

The U.S. Department of Defense should continue to provide trans­gender Am­eri­cans the right to serve in our armed forces and reject the bigoted ban attempt by an egre­gious executive who evaded military service during the Vietnam War.

The Rev. Robert Jeffress wasn’t well known on the national stage until he became one of the earliest and most vocal of the evangelical Christian leaders who supported Donald Trump through his candidacy and into the White House. But to Americans United he was no stranger – in fact, Jeffress has been on AU’s radar screen for two decades.
