The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Litigation Counsel Christiana Holcomb regarding the unsupported claim that the city of Houston is “backing off” or “narrowing” its subpoena request for the sermons and communications of pastors in Woodfill v. Parker: “The shame that the city of Houston has brought upon itself is real, but the claim that it has changed course is not. The city so far has taken no concrete action to withdraw the subpoenas. Furthermore, the subpoenas themselves are the problem – not just their request for pastors’ sermons. The city is not off the ...

America is defeated when we stop believing in and following our constitutional system. We still believe in America.” ...

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley regarding the city of Houston’s preliminary response Friday to an ADF motion to quash the city’s request for the sermons and communications of pastors in Woodfill v. Parker: “The city of Houston still doesn’t get it. It thinks that by changing nothing in its subpoenas other than to remove the word ‘sermons’ that it has solved the problem. That solves nothing. Even though the pastors are not parties in this lawsuit, the subpoenas still demand from them 17 different categories of information – ...

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Ryan Tucker regarding the Dedham Board of Health’s notice issued Thursday, after receiving a letter from ADF, that it has rescinded its cease-and-desist order that prevented Victory Baptist Church from holding services even with 10 or fewer people as permitted under the Massachusetts governor’s COVID-19 executive order: “The government can certainly concern itself with public health and safety, but it can’t treat church services differently than similar types of gatherings. The governor’s executive order allows ...
