In the first hour of today’s show, Kerby chats with Michael Farris, Chancellor of Patrick Henry College and Chairman of the Home School Legal Defense Association. He tells us more about the judicial ramifications of the Presidential elections outcome.
In the second hour we hear from Tim Wildmon, president of American Family Association (AFA) and American Family Radio (AFR). He discusses the AFA’s recent petition which came in response to a newly announced corporate policy by the retailer, which stated in part, Target “welcomes transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity.” He tells us more about how #BoycottTarget went viral.
Farris graduated from Western Washington State College, magna cum laude, with Bachelors in Political Science, followed by a Juris Doctorate from Gonzaga University (with honors). At Gonzaga, Farris was the Articles Editor of the Law Review, and was the winner of the Linden Cup Moot Court Competition. Recently, Farris earned an LL.M. in Public International Law from the University of London.
Farris has specialized in constitutional appellate litigation. In that capacity Farris has argued as lead counsel before the Supreme Court of the United States, eight federal circuit courts of appeals, and in the state Supreme Courts and appellate courts of thirteen states. Additionally, Farris is the author of numerous amicus briefs before the United States Supreme Court.
But while the man cannot be replaced, sooner or later his seat on the Supreme Court will be filled. The fact that his replacement has already become highly politicized does not point to problems of a clash between the President and Congress. Nor, does it merely signal a divide between Republicans and Democrats.
In 1991 AFA started the AFR network which now consist of nearly 200 radio stations. The format is news, information, bible teaching and inspirational music. AFR is the fastest growing radio network of any kind and built more stations in a shorter period of time than any other broadcaster. Other divisions of AFA include the Center for Law & Policy, a firm dealing in religious, First-Amendment and constitutional matters, andAgapePress, an online news provider that is syndicated around the world. AFA uses all these means to communicate an outspoken, resolute, Christian voice in America.
