Alito: We must 'evangelize our fellow Americans' on religious freedom

[THE_DEVIL]

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito told a Catholic legal group that the United States' dedication to religious liberty is being put to the test.

Alito told the Catholic lawyers and judges on Wednesday, "A wind is picking up that is hostile to those with traditional moral beliefs," according to the Associated Press.

"We are likely to see pitched battles in courts and Congress, state legislatures and town halls," Alito said in New Jersey, according to the AP. "But the most important fight is for the hearts and minds of our fellow Americans. It is up to all of us to evangelize our fellow Americans about the issue of religious freedom."

Alito, a Catholic, reportedly also read from his dissent in the Supreme Court's same-sex marriage case and said he predicted those who opposed the high court's decision would be cast as bigots.

He's right you know. When you don't think civil rights should apply equally to all citizens, you are a bigot and unfit to serve on the courts.

civil rights are for non citizens too

They should be, but not always in practice. Trump just pardoned a guy for violating the civil rights of non citizens and called it doing his job.
