Which of your freedoms is he defending? I haven't heard him defending any of mine.

Pre-emption - if your answer is free exercise, he isn't standing up for anyone's right to free exercise. In fact, he has explicitly stated that certain faiths do not count as "religion" for purposes of the 1st Amendment, and that people of other faiths only have the freedom to worship their gods because the Judeo-Christian God - not the U.S. Constitution, but the Judeo-Christian God ALONE - allows people of other faiths to have freedom of conscience.

His statement, not mine.

That, to me, is a far cry from defending the rights of all Americans.

He's defending our first and tenth amendment rights from those who are trying to destroy them (the ACLU, the Federal government, etc.)

In the name of "religious freedom" would you allow, say neo-Aztec virgin child sacrifice (maybe you didn't know there are neo-Aztec's -- I do know there are), or fringe Santerian child sacrifice or digging up graveyards, or a Hindu sutee -- where the living widow of a dead husband throws herself (or is drugged and thrown) on his funearal pyre?

There is "religious freedom" within a boundary. That boundary is from the "Old Testament".
