A new study of Supreme Court decisions dating to 1953 shows the nation’s highest tribunal has moved from supporting religious freedom less than half the time to almost always in recent years.
“The Roberts Court has ruled in favor of religious organizations far more frequently than its predecessors, over 81% of the time, compared to about 50% for all previous eras since 1953,” legal scholars Lee Epstein and Eric Posner Jr. wrote in the latest edition of the University of Chicago’s Supreme Court Review.
