Listen "Religious Liberty at the Supreme Court: Previewing the New Term"

Episode Synopsis

The Supreme Court's most recent term ended with several high-profile liberty rulings, including Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue and Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania. This term, set to begin next month, will bring more religious liberty cases before the Court. Chief among these cases is Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, a case which brings to the forefront the questions of whether, when, and why religious exemptions are required by the Free Exercise Clause. Oral arguments for this case are scheduled for November 4, 2020. Mark Rienzi of the Becket Fund joins us to preview the Fulton case, discuss other religious-liberty cases the Court will hear this year, and analyze the future of religious liberty at the Supreme Court. Professor William Saunders from The Catholic University of America will moderate the conversation.
