NRO has a strong house editorial in support of Senator Mike Lee’s revised version of the First Amendment Defense Act, “an essential piece of legislation that seeks to protect religious liberty in an increasingly hostile environment.” As the editorial explains, the new version effectively responds to many of the objections that had been raised against the bill.

Drafting a bill like this isn’t easy, and there is plenty of room for good-faith disagreement over what should be included and how best to phrase the protections. I share the editorial’s hope that those who are acting in good faith will advance their concerns in a constructive manner and won’t let their vision of the perfect impede passage of a hugely important bill.
