The Supreme Court agreed late on Jan. 13 to take up the civil rights lawsuit of an evangelical Christian postal worker in Pennsylvania who quit the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) after it refused to accommodate his wish to not work on the Sunday Sabbath.

The granting of the petition in Groff v. DeJoy, court file 22-174, over the opposition of the Biden administration, comes as the high court has become increasingly protective of First Amendment-based religious protections in recent years.
