#GinniThomas expressed her appreciation in an email sent to #KellyShackelford, an influential litigator whose clients have won cases at #SCOTUS. Shackelford runs the #FirstLibertyInstitute, a $25 million-a-year organization that describes itself as “the largest #legal organization in the nation dedicated exclusively to defending religious liberty for all Americans.”

Shackelford read Thomas’ email aloud on a July 31 private call w/his group’s top donors.
