The "freight train" coming for the separation of church and state is receiving scant coverage.
Before I left my job at POLITICO, I was heavily researching the case at the center of it all -- started in Oklahoma. Justice Barrett's good friend helped seed it, which I reported.

Its director, Stephanie Barclay, took a leave to ... clerk for Gorsuch during the same time period — 2021 and 2022 — that the group was working on its St. Isidore application.
And here is the critical question. The clinic would not tell me if Barclay had done any work on behalf of St. Isidore, inc. before, during or after her clerkship.
MORE: In June of 2022, the court also overturned Roe; a month later, the same clinic -- the one now behind this OK case -- funded a trip for Justice Alito to be feted at a gala in Rome.
Barclay is also an alumni of the network of Leonard Leo, who helped seat the SC ultraconservative majority.
He is considered the "architect" of the court.
Barclay spent multiple years at a nonprofit where Leo sits on the board: the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.
It is significantly funded by DAFs that keep their identities secret but which receive large amounts of money from ... Leo-aligned groups.

No one defends FDR anyways, much less the Founding Fathers

Any 'benign' (no such thing) religious affiliation or belief helps to give legitimacy to the extreme cultists.
