Another day, another Supreme Court ruling. Justice Gorsuch wrote the opinion for the majority. Here are some of his thoughts:
“The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike.
Gorsuch noted that the coach “prayed during a period when school employees were free to speak with a friend, call for a reservation at a restaurant, check email, or attend to other personal matters” and “while his students were otherwise occupied.”
He closed by writing that: “Respect for religious expressions is indispensable to life in a free and diverse Republic—whether those expressions take place in a sanctuary or on a field, and whether they manifest through the spoken word or a bowed head.”
Trump appointees Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett joined with Thomas, Alito, and Roberts.
