First SCOTUS case up: big win for religious freedom in the “praying coach case.”

“a government entity sought to punish an individual for engaging in a brief, quiet, personal religious observance doubly protected by the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment. And the only meaningful justification the government offered . . .

. . for its reprisal rested on a mistaken view that it had a duty to ferret out and suppress religious observances even as it allows comparable secular speech. The Constitution neither mandates nor tolerates
that kind of discrimination. Mr. Kennedy is entitled . . .

to summary judgment on his First Amendment claims. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is Reversed.

This is another 6-3 ruling.

Great!

Although I find it sad and scary that this had to go to the Supremes. It should never even have gotten by an appellate Court, squashing religious freedom.
