The Harvard Law Record
We live in a post-constitutional universe.
We have been reversing course since the American Revolution when George Washington turned aside a crown in favor of a Republic and Thomas Paine preached in
Common Sense: “For so in absolute governments the King is the law, so in free countries the law ought to be king.”
The President of the United States is now crowned with vastly more unchecked power than the tyranny King George III exercised over our forefathers which provoked the American Revolution.
Our urgent task as citizens is to restore the Constitution by deliberative engagement against those who have mauled it by creating an American Empire driven by an extra-constitutional, lawless, imperial presidency.

But there’s a solution: the Do No Harm Act, which was introduced by two members of the Congressional Freethought Caucus, Representatives Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), as well as Representatives Bobby Scott (D-Va.) and Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pa.).
If passed, the Do No Harm Act would limit the negative impact of religious exemptions created by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in all areas of federal law, including civil rights and health care coverage.
American Atheists has long opposed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) because it gives special treatment to religion above and beyond what the First Amendment requires or allows.

They should have recalled that timeless warning well-known to the Founders, that “… for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
Above all, their show trial has exposed President Joe Biden and especially Vice President Harris to far more serious articles than they ever concocted against Donald Trump.
