That's the rub..it's not...and it isn't a shield from the law. That's what the ADF resents so deeply. That not only is christian dominionism not the law of the land, it can't even sheild a good high stepping dominionist -from- the law of the land.
Any and every victory however tiny..though, gets them closer to that goal. So even if they can't get a court to agree that he has any such exemptions..if they can get a court to slap a lower court on the wrist for being very, very mean to him (lol)... it seems like a win. The ADF has allies on the bench and in congress who are entirely too eager to deliver when it comes to saving face, even if they don't quite have the chutzpah to deliver us unto Gilead just yet.
