The Conservative Cave

Last month, we warned officials in Brighton, New York, that they could not constitutionally exclude a Nativity scene from a Christmas display in the town square while allowing other displays commemorating special religious holidays and events throughout the year. We gave the town every opportunity to correct its unconstitutional policy voluntarily.

Instead of complying with the Constitution, town officials chose to ignore our demand for compliance with the law and have decided to continue to engage in viewpoint discrimination to exclude our client’s religious speech: a Nativity scene.

The ACLJ just took the next step by filing a federal lawsuit to protect our client’s First Amendment rights.

At the heart of this case is a simple constitutional principle: Government officials cannot open a public forum for private holiday expression and then exclude certain speech simply because it is religious or less favored. The First Amendment requires government neutrality toward religion – not hostility.

Someone just outed themself as a learing center graduate.

In 2000, President Bill Clinton secretly switched to an unmarked plane for a trip to Pakistan. At least one member of the White House pool, a reporter covering the trip for USA Today, was briefed on the operation beforehand, according to The Washington Post.

On the secrecy around the maneuver in Turkey—with even journalists traveling with Trump left in the dark—McDonald said limiting the circle of those informed is standard practice, especially now. “We're in a time now where instantaneous news articles are going out—TikTok, Instagram, Facebook,” he said. “That doesn't help the plan that the Secret Service needs to implement.”
