Judicial supremacy, rather the lack of it, is what needs to be made clear, especially to the author.

"There is not a shadow of right in the general government to intermeddle in religion. Its least interference with it would be a most flagrant usurpation."

Reading the headline my first thought was: AZConservative

Unfortunately, it is not a joke.

While I believe the SCOTUS will find on behalf of the church, the big argument will be whether they reach a narrow or broad decision.

Religions are essentially exclusionary, almost by definition. If they were not, they would have no distinct purpose in being.

However, the SCOTUS could also hit a home run by declaring that *secular* and *semi-secular* activities owned and operated by a religion or church may also be exclusionary.

For example, Catholic hospitals could not be required to issue birth control or perform abortions under Obamacare—which in turn would be a stern indicator of the intent of the court when it hears the Obamacare case.

States and the federal government could not force parochial schools to do much of anything, unless it was done voluntarily in exchange for government money, and teachers were otherwise certified.

However, there is also a big problem with school curricula, if it teaches things that are not legal. On one hand Muslim schools could be prevented from calling for murder and the violent overthrow of the American government. But on the opposite tack, government might decide it is illegal to teach that homosexuality is wrong.

So this is going to be a very interesting court case from a lot of angles.

Unless the medication Pro-vigil has changed narcolepsy. I know my Uncle who had it, even with meds, would just zonk out sometimes in the middle of playing with his kids.
If they’d wake him he’d get almost violent.

That said, some of my former Teachers induced narcolepsy in their students with their sing song, boring teaching methods.
