Liz and Rebecca explain the final three Supreme Court rulings with huge stakes for true religious freedom. They discuss the Court’s continued zeal for religious favoritism in the Catholic Charities, Mahmoud, and Skrmetti rulings—further expanding exemptions from the law for religious employers, giving ultra-conservative religious parents veto power over public school curriculum, and upholding state bans gender-affirming care for minors with gender dysphoria.
