Biden's extreme judicial nominee cannot reach the bench

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Her attacks on the First Amendment to the Constitution are far outside the mainstream and have been rejected by many courts.
57% : The sharply worded Supreme Court unanimous opinion labeled her arguments "untenable" and "hard to square with the text of the First Amendment, which gives special solicitude to the rights of religious organizations."
55% : The U.S. Supreme Court and other federal judges voted against AliKhan's extreme legal theories about the First Amendment.
53% : AliKhan's narrow views on religious liberty would have segregated First Amendment protections to the walls of a church or a temple, and as the court said, "would also run counter to the charitable practices -- and in many cases, teachings -- of diverse religious traditions."
43% : Her narrow views and poor legal analysis threatened the religious liberty rights of a minority faith, and with it, is an attack on diversity in our country.
41% : Her brief took aim at the ministerial exception, which is a religious employer's First Amendment right to make decisions about hiring and firing ministers without government interference.
38% : She opposed the right to assemble for worship, the right of religious organizations to choose teachers of faith and the right of faith-based groups to choose how to form without government interference.
35% : AliKhan's views were also too extreme again for the D.C. Court of Appeals when she opposed the religious liberty rights of Sikhs to build a temple in the nation's capital.
