Last Tuesday, I shared Mary Ann Glendon\u2019s piece<\/a> in the Wall Street Journal <\/em>explaining why we are suing the U.S. Government. Today, Kathy Schiffer learns that Glendon has been appointed to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). She wonders if Glendon might be able to help the Administration realize how ridiculous they look trying to protect religious liberty overseas while they trample on it at home.<\/p>\n

Take a look at Kathy\u2019s post, New Development: Can Mary Ann Glendon Reverse Government Policy on Religious Liberty?<\/a><\/p>\n

Somehow I don\u2019t think that will happen, as the Administration will say, \u201cTalk to the hand, Mary Ann, there\u2019s nothing to see here. Keep looking overseas, say in Cuba, or China. But leave the domestic driving to us, ok? Don\u2019t you have a plane to catch?\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad Glendon was appointed to this post though. I think she will do a lot of good on the USCIRF.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
