The press conference featured a host of anti-trans advocates from the sports world, including volleyball player Rebekah Allick, who openly called for Christian nationalism while rejecting the separation of church and state.

OK, lets unpack this:

James Madison was a strong advocate for the separation of church and state.

Madison was one of the Federalist Papers' authors. He is regarded as the inspiration for the Federalist Society.

The current "conservative" Supreme Court majority are all members of the Federalist Society.

They are also the ones most inclined to tear down the wall between church and state.

This makes zero sense.
