::It's clear that the ADF is a conservative organization that is devoted to religious liberty. I wouldn't be surprised if they're not perfect (but we can find flaws in pretty much every conservative figure or organization if we look hard enough), but their record, even after 2016, is really good. I am OK with including info about not taking a position on the travel ban case (as I mentioned above), but turning this article into a literal attack page against the ADF (rather than simply criticizing its shortcomings) is over-the-top.

::And as I stated above, the travel ban case has nothing to do with religious liberty--it's about national security, which is irrelevant to the ADF's mission. I don't see why the ADF needs to take a position on it. That's like saying a pro-Second Amendment organization should take a position on Trump's tariffs, or that an America First immigration organization should take a position on Trump's pro-life actions, or that a pro-life organization needs to take a position on the Trump Administration's deregulatory actions. It's great if they do take conservative positions on these issues, but it's outside the scope of their missions. It's the same for the ADF. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 00:07, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

:::The coup at ADF occurred early in January 2017, between Trump's election and his inauguration.  Perhaps a faction at ADF remained [[Never Trump movement|Never Trump]] and wanted to turn in that direction.

:::In 2015, ADF participated in 21 cases before the Supreme Court.  But after the coup, from mid-2017 through the present, ADF has participated in only 6 Supreme Court cases -- less than one-third its prior annual output.  After the coup, ADF was notably absence in Trump's opposition to a right to abortion by illegal aliens (''Azar v. Garza''), and in [[David Daleiden]]'s important case.

:::None of your above-cited cases are leading-edge cases on the [[abortion]] issue.  ''NIFLA'' is really a [[free speech]] case, whose decision will probably be issued tomorrow (Monday at 10am).  The ''Masterpiece Cakeshop'' case was initiated by ADF before the Supreme Court prior to ADF's coup.  The NC case is a factually simple [[Establishment Clause]] case.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 00:38, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
