The Christian Coalition is trying to get its members to call various congressmen, including Senator Hatch, to tell them not to support the pro-state-legislature amendment. The coalitionโs email makes false claims. It attributes the words from a different proposed amendment to Hatch. The coalitionโs political judgment is also peculiar. Supposedly, Hatch is โsnatching defeat from the jaws of victoryโ by weakening the FMA. I hadnโt noticed those jaws closing myself; nor had any senator Iโve interviewed. But the Coalitionโs Jim Backlin writes, โWe cannot lose now now [sic] that we are so close to victory.โ Oh sure they can lose. Just keep listening to the Christian Coalition.
