Attorneys Alicia Kutzer and Bill Olson discuss our amicus brief filed at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in National Religious Broadcasters v. Bessent. This case is a First Amendment challenge to the Johnson Amendment, a 1954 law that prohibits 501(c)(3) exempt religious or charitable organizations from engaging in political campaign activities. Our brief and the discussion explain how the Johnson Amendment was a politically motivated, unconstitutional law that silences religious organizations.
