US Supreme Court Goes 9–0 in Surprise Ruling
In a back-to-back string of rulings, right in time for July 4th, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered major victories for religious freedom.
Specifically, in two separate cases, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of expanding the level of protections that religious believers enjoy.
Not only did the court clarify that businesses must accommodate religious practices—but also, in a landmark decision, the court ruled that the government cannot force Americans to abandon either their constitutional rights or their religious convictions in order for them to be able to operate a business.
And as such, they cannot be forced to make a gay marriage website, for instance, if they don’t agree with it.
