:::::Bottom line: the ADF has its flaws (duh!), like almost every conservative and conservative organization, but overall, it is on the right track, standing for the religious liberty (it's sole focus) of Christians (including creationists), things that the vast majority of legal organizations refuse to do. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 20:20, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

::::::ADF's brief says on its cover that it does not support Trump (or the other side).  We won't have the Court's decision for another 24 or 48 hours or so, but ADF's refusal to support Trump is harmful, and people should be fully aware of that.  Will it impact the decision?  It might.  Likewise, ADF's silence in the recent precedent-setting illegal-alien abortion case is objectionable.  ADF boasts that the sanctity of life is one of its primary missions.  So why did it remain silent in the case?  (In response to David above, nothing in the Lemon test requires ADF to sit on the sidelines when its help is needed.)

::::::Amicus briefs that expressly disavow being in support of either party are unusual.  ADF went out of its way to do this, and that does not advance religious liberty or the sanctity of life.  Moreover, ADF's disclaimer in its amicus brief is also unusual.  Why did it undercut Trump like this?  A reasonable inference is that [[Never Trump movement|Never-Trumpers]] who seized control of the organization in January 2017 had something to do with this.

::::::It's fine to criticize the Never-Trumpers on the Left.  But they aren't the only ones, and when that potentially hurts us in precedent-setting Supreme Court decisions, criticism is essential.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 22:31, 25 June 2018 (EDT)
