The following quote may be attributed to
Alliance Defending Freedom President, CEO, and General
Counsel Alan Sears regarding the passing of U.S. Supreme
Court Justice Antonin Scalia:
“The entire Alliance
Defending Freedom team mourns the loss of a true friend of
ordered liberty and of all Americans: Justice Antonin
Scalia. Justice Scalia was the most vocal and passionate
voice on the Supreme Court for religious freedom, the
sanctity of life, and marriage and family over the past
three decades. While we grieve his passing, we must always
remember that God is in charge. We also note that it is
unlikely that a new justice will be installed prior to the
election of our next president. All of us are thankful for
Justice Scalia’s legacy of consistently standing in
defense of our constitutionally protected freedoms. Please
join us in prayer for the Scalia family, the entire Supreme
Court family, and our
nation.”
