Phillips is currently being defended by a group called the Alliance Defending Freedom, a nonprofit Christian legal defense group labeled as an “anti-LGBTQ hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center. In addition to taking cases, the group runs a nine-week seminar (called the Blackstone Legal Fellowship) where they teach people how to use the law to support evangelical causes. New Supreme Court justice Amy Coney Barrett has been an instructor at one of these seminars, to give you a sense of how integrated these people are into conservative politics and judicial interpretation.
