Republicans just tried to sabotage a normally routine national defense bill -- not by addressing any particular, relevant aspects of the legislation itself, or by offering concrete counter-proposals, but by loading it down with riders to try revoke more rights from all of us and trying to prevent us from living our own lives.

The #FirstAmendment protects us all, not just Christians.
