U.S. Supreme Court rules 9-0 for churches in landmark religious freedom case

SCOTUS Unanimous For Religious Freedom � The AnchoressSCALIA: The Obama administration tested the waters with an extreme gambit. They’ve now established that this court, in its current make-up, will rule in favor of overt threats to the most fundamental of our religious freedoms. I expect that if Obama is re-elected, we’ll see continued–but measured–attempts to weaken religious freedoms, as it attempts to discern precisely where the lines are, and how they may be crossed. Chief Justice Roberts appears to acknowledge as much, in writing the opinion.
