American Civil Liberties Union over a display in the Barrow County Courthouse, and later supported similar efforts in the Morgan County Superior Courthouse. In September 2008, Hice was one of 33 pastors across America to participate in "Pulpit Freedom Sunday" in opposition to the Johnson Amendment, a provision of the tax code that prohibits tax-exempt organizations (such as churches) from endorsing or opposing political candidates. In the sermon, Hice endorsed Senator John McCain for President. Hice has argued that Christians have been "tricked" into a "false belief" in separation of church and state. He asserted that church-state separation leads to government corruption. In his 2012 book A Call to Reclaim America, Hice wrote, "Although Islam has a religious component, it is much more than a simple religious ideology. It is a complete geo-political structure and, as such, does not deserve First Amendment protection." In his book It's Now or Never, Hice quoted former U.S. general William G. Boykin as stating that there is a Muslim Brotherhood plot to take over the United States. Texas v. Pennsylvania In December 2020, Hice was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election, in which Joe Biden defeated Trump. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of an election held by another state. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement that called signing the amicus brief an act of "election subversion." She also reprimanded Hice and the other House members who supported the lawsuit: "The 126 Republican Members that signed onto this lawsuit brought dishonor to the House. Instead of upholding their oath to support and defend the Constitution, they chose to subvert the Constitution and undermine public trust in our sacred democratic institutions." Biden Administration Hice supports efforts to impeach President Joe Biden. During the 117th United States Congress, Hice co-sponsored two resolutions to impeach President Biden. During the 117th Congress, Hice also co-sponsored a resolution to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas and a resolution to impeach Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
