This source cluster compiles the current First Liberty Institute material in the repository, centered on ProPublica reporting about anti-Supreme-Court-reform advocacy and supplemented by a secondary institutional profile about its litigation posture and Kelly Shackelford's wider movement ties.
The strongest source in this cluster is ProPublica's reported account of a July 2024 donor call involving First Liberty Institute leadership, Ginni Thomas praise, and claims about the organization's earlier anti-court-reform campaign. A Supreme Transparency profile adds a secondary organization summary tying First Liberty to major religion-clause cases and to Kelly Shackelford's broader movement positioning. Together, these sources support a durable First Liberty organization page and a narrower summary of what the current repo can and cannot claim.
