The latest “We Dissent” episode breaks down the last few state-church Supreme Court decisions coming down from the U.S. Supreme Court this judicial term.
On Episode 44, FFRF Deputy Legal Director Liz Cavell and Americans United Legal Director Rebecca Markert 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 — the further expansion of exemptions from the law for religious employers, the granting of veto power to ultraconservative religious parents over public school curriculum, and the upholding of state bans on gender-affirming care for minors with gender dysphoria.
“We Dissent,” which first aired in May 2022, is a legal affairs show for atheists, agnostics and humanists, offering legal wisdom from the secular viewpoint of women lawyers. The show is a collaboration of the Freedom From Religion Foundation and Americans United.
