The suit arose when on the "Day of Silence" a Chase Harper, a Christian student, wore a shirt that said “I Will Not Accept What God Has Condemned” on one side and “Homosexuality is Shameful, Romans 1:27” on the other.

What can be done about the UNAmerican 9th Circuit? They have no concept of the Constitution

We need to cast our votes for those who respect the Constitution and are committed to appointing judges who do likewise.
