It remains to be seen whether the Supreme Court will ever address any of these problematic litigation tactics.
Tragically, its right-wing majority is more than ideologically sympathetic to ADF. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, for example, hasher connection to the group during her 2017 Senate confirmation hearings to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Owing to ADF’s efforts, it is now an article of faith both on the Christian right and on the high court that a secular government will “force” Christians to do things against their will in order to advance the interests of LGBTQ people. This is a long-standing but mythical tenet of Christian nationalists who revile a pluralistic secular government and want to supplant it with one run by like-minded Christians.
