This case will make its way to SCOTUS. The Christofascists want to eradicate the Johnson Rule limiting church spending/campaigning. Combined w/ the J.D.Vance lawsuit before SCOTUS to negate the ban on coordinated spending btw candidates & PACs, all the billionaire guardrails will be destroyed.

And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.
