Why would it astonish you? This train’s been rolling this way for some time now. Call it the conservative instinct. It can't get *that* bad, I've told myself. This is America!
I've trusted too much in the Constitution to keep things safe. But if there isn't a cultural consensus about religious freedom, especially an elite consensus, religious freedom will fall by the wayside no matter the constitutional precedent.

It happened in England, it can happen in Ameerica. England was very Catholic, and she still hasn’t recovered. Wasn’t until 1830 that Catholics could even vote.
