Senator Promotes Intolerance in the Name of Tolerance

“Our Constitution protects the free exercise of religion for all Americans,” [Senate Majority Whip] Mr. [Richard] Durbin [D-IL] said. This is a dubious misleading statement by a US Senator.

Durbin's misguided hearing needs to emphasize that enigma.
