Q Toon: No One Expects the Sessions Task Force

All ye faithful, genuflect!

Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions announced the establishment of a federal Religious Liberty Task Force with a mission to protect the rights of homophobic bakers, of Walmart greeters who firmly stand against wishing people happy holidays, and of pharmacists demanding to override the health care decisions of their female and transgender customers.

In his announcement statement Sessions stressed that the need for action was imperative:

 "A dangerous movement, undetected by many, is now challenging and eroding our great tradition of religious freedom. There can be no doubt. This is no little matter. It must be confronted and defeated," Sessions said. "This election, and much that has flowed from it, gives us a rare opportunity to arrest these trends. Such a reversal will not just be done with electoral victories, but by intellectual victories."

Because the next time Donald Trump falls 2,864,974 ballots short in the popular vote, some Democrat might actually get elected president.

In the meantime, Mr. Sessions has at least provided gainful government employment for graduates of Jerry Falwell's Leviticus University. Just as long as they leave in the trash bin outside all that pesky biblical stuff about welcoming the sojourner and Lord, When Did We See You.
