Religious Liberty Commission Analysis Report
The Religious Liberty Commission Analysis Report is a comprehensive policy document submitted to the Texas Senate Select Committee on Religious Liberty in September 2026.
It examines the structure, mandate, and performance of the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission, with particular focus on the removal of Commissioner Carrie Prejean Boller by Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.
Drawing on constitutional analysis, witness accounts, Commission transcripts, and Boller's own descriptions of events, the report documents how her pro‑life Catholic expression was chilled, restrained, and ultimately punished—contrary to the protections guaranteed under Article I, Sections 6 and 8 of the Texas Constitution.
The report provides:
A detailed chronology of events before, during, and after the February 9, 2026 antisemitism hearing
Analysis of constitutional violations involving religious conscience and free speech
Examination of omissions and inconsistencies in the Commission’s draft report
Case study evidence showing viewpoint discrimination and prior restraint
Twelve legislative recommendations for protecting Texans serving in federal advisory roles
A proposed Joint Resolution for the Texas Legislature affirming constitutional protections
Prepared by the Kolbe Alliance for Conscience Rights, the report urges the Texas Legislature to defend Texans’ natural and indefeasible rights of religious conscience and free expression, and to ensure that Texas officials uphold their constitutional oath in all jurisdictions and settings.
