Saturday Morning Coffee for Saturday, April 30, 2022
Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for April 30, 2022. This week, our special guests include Sen Josh Kimbrell (R-Spartanburg), member of the S.C. Senate, and Tyson Langhofer, Esq., with the Alliance Defending Freedom. Sen. Kimbrell discusses recent efforts to get election integrity reform legislation passed in S.C., and Tyson Langhofer joins us to discuss the recent victory obtained by ADF on behalf of Professor Nick Merriwether in his lawsuit with his employer, Shawnee State University in Ohio. All of that, and more, on this week's episode of Saturday Morning Coffee!
Welcome to Saturday Morning Coffee for April 30, 2022!
On this week's show, Reese and Glenn discuss the recent purchase of Twitter by billionaire Elon Musk, and how it has brought the Left and the Twitter-sphere to near-meltdown status. We also discuss the announcement this week of the formation of of a "Disinformation Governance Board" within the Dept. of Homeland Security, and what a disastrously bad (and dangerous) idea this is.
Sen Josh Kimbrell (R-Spartanburg), member of the S.C. Senate, also joins us on the program to discuss our efforts to pass election integrity reform legislation, and the current status of that bill in the S.C. Senate. Sen. Kimbrell also discusses his efforts to remove certain items from the Senate's version of the State budget, including funding for a gender reassignment clinic at MUSC.
We're also joined on the show by Tyson Langhofer, Esq., an attorney who leads the Center for Academic Freedom at the Alliance Defending Freedom, who joins us to discuss the recent victory announced by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in the case in which Langhofer and the ADF Team represented Prof. Nick Merriwether in his legal case with his employer, Shawnee State University (Ohio). The University had previously required Prof. Merriwether to use pronouns at the request of one of his students, that were not the student's biological pronouns. When Prof. Merriwether refused to comply, this case ensued. The opinion from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals confirms the argument made by ADF, that the Government cannot compel a college professor (or anyone else) to say or state something that that individual knows to be untrue. The Merriwether decision is an important victory for religious and academic freedom, and an important victory for individual liberty, whether one agrees with Dr. Merriwether's perspective on the issues or not.
