Frustrated by the lack of accountability
Recently, Marsha Blackburn posted that she wants, "Tennessee to be the number one Christian conservative state in the nation." This is a core message of her campaign. However, no mainstream media or any other figures that can impose accountability on Blackburn have bothered to point out that this mission of her campaign is directly in violation of the Tennessee Constitution, which provides:
Section 3. That all men have a natural and indefeasible right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own conscience; that no man can of right be compelled to attend, erect, or support any place of worship, or to maintain any minister against his consent; that no human authority can, in any case whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience; and that no preference shall ever be given, by law, to any religious establishment or mode of worship.
Blackburn's promise to make the state a Christian state directly violates the clauses that no person can be compelled to maintain any minister against their consent (if the state becomes a religious institution, then it would be forcing our tax dollars to support that ministry), and that no preference shall be given to any religious establishment.
It is so frustrating that laws do not apply to extremist Christians. There are millions of people in this state that are not Christians, or are Christians that actually follow the teachings of Jesus (rather than Blackburn's brand of apostate Christianity), who do not want this, but are silenced because there are no mechanisms for accountability when we have mob rule by extremists.
Compounding the unconstitutional nature of Blackburn's policies, enacting them will embroil the state in costly lawsuits, and distract from policies that could be designed to help the public.
