Svante Myrick recently attacked President Trump’s work for religious freedom, as well as our organization’s work on judicial nominations at the American Family Association Action’s Center for Judicial Renewal.
Our standard for evaluating future federal judges is simple: we seek judges “with the best long-term, demonstrable record of commitment to the constitutional role of judges, which is to decide cases according to the original meaning of the Constitution and legislative texts, and to never legislate from the bench.”
When evaluating judges under this standard, we research prospects’ records in a number of key areas, including their worldview. It is this “worldview” research that seems to draw the most opposition from the anti-religious Left.
Some seem bothered that we prefer judges who respect the Constitution and the God of our Declaration of Independence. Moreover, we prefer judges who have a relationship with Jesus because the teachings of Christ, among other things, lead judges to be fair to all persons, religious and non-religious.
