‘The Constitution simply does not allow the military to punish those with sincerely held religious beliefs’
By Bob Unruh
A legal team representing an Idaho Army National Guard officer who is suing over his removal over his Christian beliefs is seeking a default judgment against Gov. Brad Little and two Guard generals for failing to respond to the lawsuit.
Maj. David Worley’s lawsuit, in which he is represented by Liberty Counsel, charges he was removed from his command for expressing his personal views on biblical sexuality in a forum that was outside the military.
Little has filed a motion to dismiss, but he and the two generals, Adjutant General of the Idaho National Guard Major General Timothy J. Donnellan and the Assistant Adjutant General Brigadier General James C. Packwood, have declined to respond to or oppose Worley’s specific discrimination complaint under the federal court’s timeline rules, according to the legal team.
