SUPREME COURT CONTINUES TO DISMANTLE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 23, 2022) — On the heels of the Supreme Court upending the separation of church and state in its Carson v. Makin ruling earlier this week, Take Back the Court today released a new fact sheet detailing the Court's next opportunity to intensify its attack on Americans’ freedom of and from religion: Kennedy v. Bremerton School District. The decision in that case could come as early as this morning.
“Separation of church and state is one of the most basic American principles,” said Take Back the Court Executive Director Sarah Lipton-Lubet. “But the Supreme Court’s stolen, right-wing supermajority has made it abundantly clear the Constitution is no obstacle to their extreme ideological agenda. The justices are free to adhere to whatever religious views they like — but not to impose those views on the rest of us. Each day, each case is further proof that the only path forward is to expand the Court.”
