Good morning from Washington, where a Senate vote to reform the tax code looms. Fred Lucas reports on President Trump's pitch in Missouri, and Rachel del Guidice spotlights needed Republican votes. The Supreme Court is about to hear the case of Jack Phillips, the "cake artist" punished for not endorsing same-sex marriage. Kelsey Harkness has a video profile, and Elizabeth Slattery and Kaitlyn Finley introduce supporters of gay marriage who defend his stand. Plus: David Shedd and Paul Rosenzweig on keeping the heat on terrorists, and Tony Perkins on a White House that looks a lot like Christmas.
"It's challenged me to grow and to spend more time in the Bible and in fellowship with other Christians," says Jack Phillips.
"In the coming days, the American people will learn which politicians are part of the swamp and which politicians want to drain the swamp," says President Trump.
The paper calls out Republican senators by name and asks people to contact their offices to urge a no vote on the bill when it comes to the Senate floor as early as this week.
The Section 702 program cannot be used to target any U.S. person or any person located in the U.S., whether that person is an American or a foreigner.
"One of the main differences between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans, in general, favor less government and more tax cuts," writes Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
The Cato Institute, Reason Foundation, and Individual Rights Foundation argue that Jack Phillips' custom cakes are an artistic expression that deserves protection under the First Amendment's free speech clause.
"It's always the faith-based people that say, 'I want that little boy, that little girl. I want that person. I want them to be part of our family,'" says Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa.
