Great in theory.

Not so great if it’s your money or freedom that’s on the line.

The principled resistance of Christian bakers to gay marriage has resulted in closed businesses and civil lawsuits in several states.

Here in Washington state, state government is actually the lead plaintiff in one lawsuit.

Freedom isn't free. The Founders had money, families, businesses, farms, etc. They sacrificed most of them willingly, in the name of liberty. We're obviously some kind of special cupcakes? Better in some way than the Founders?

Murray wants to overwhelm the enforcement agencies of the Fed Agov. He wants to start an organization that will take on cases where the government fines individuals and small businesses for frivolous infractions. Kind of like the landmark legal foundation but an organization that would take on cases more broadly. The group would pay the fine if they lose the case so that the government would be on notice that the taxpayer is not going to suffer from draconian enforcement. He already had one individual ready to give $5 million to the cause.
