    New York Times: Former evangelical activist claims he knew of 2014
    Supreme Court decision before it was released

    A former evangelical activist [Rev. Rob Schenck] claimed in a letter
    to the Chief Justice of the United States that he knew about the
    outcome of a 2014 Supreme Court decision involving contraception and
    the Affordable Care Act by the court prior to the formal announcement, according to The New York Times.

    Schenck said in a statement sent to CNN on Saturday that he was
    motivated by "truth-telling, which should be at the heart of Christian
    faith and practice."

    "My behind-the-scenes role at the Supreme Court and that of my cohorts
    are tangential to my purpose in coming forward," he said. "I think
    it's time for the Court, all of the government, and society to examine
    what we mean by ethics, justice, and accountability. Still, it's even
    more critical for those of us who call ourselves Christians to do so." https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/19/politics/2014-supreme-court-decision-leak-hobby-lobby-samuel-alito/index.html

    6 years has passed, and now he tells the "truth"?

    Good luck explaining any aspect of Christianity these days. So many
    hateful people out campaigning in the name of their god. America's
    Christians have come a long way from the fundamental teachings of
    humility, compassion, inclusion, and care for the less fortunate.
