Holding
This statement affirms belief in God, holds there is strong evidence for God's existence, and commits a public servant to serve all people — not just the faithful but those with little or no faith — offering service as the means of conversion. It aligns with Article XI, the Faith of the Founders, which protects and affirms the faith tradition: a sincere affirmation of faith joined to a charitable, service-oriented ethic that advances faith without hostility to non-believers (it serves rather than condemns them — the affirmative, non-adversarial posture Article XI contemplates). The commitment to serve every citizen equally also engages Article III. The strong-evidence assertion is scored as a faith claim, not an error, keeping Tier 2 moderate. Third statement by this author in the case law (with 0644 at 76 and 0645 at 32): the same author scoring high, low, and middling demonstrates content-not-author scoring.
It is the judgment of this Court that Opinion No. 2026-0646 is hereby entered into the record, in accordance with the America First Constitutional Standard. The score stands. The reasoning is published. The record is public.
