1. Sessions et. al. won't care about the religious defense...

That only applies to THEIR religious liberty to tell YOU what "god" wants to do...

It does not apply evenly to Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, even other flavors of Christians. If you are not in THEIR TRIBE, with THEIR INTERPRETATION of holy writ, well then your religious liberty does not mean squat to them.

It is one of the defining characteristics that I find so offensive in nearly all Evangelicals, but especially in the politically active hacks in the GOP and conservative circles specifically. They have shown through their tacit and overt approval of the amoral asshat Trump that they have no true beliefs and that all they seek is power to lord over others, period.

Don't want women to gain equality? Tell them what they can and cannot do with their bodies and enforce it via the state.

Don't want homosexuals and other non-heteros to have rights? Simply say "Jesus hates teh Ghey" and pretend that you have supreme authority on the issue.

Fuck them all. Hard. With rusty garden tools.
