S7, Ep. 01: The Supreme Court in a new era
As the Supreme Court begins a new term, we can’t ignore what else is going on in our country – attacks on the rule of law, weaponization of the Department of Justice, the militarization of American cities, disruptive and chaotic immigration enforcement, and a government shutdown. Amanda Tyler and Holly Hollman are back for a new season of Respecting Religion to bring thoughtful conversations to these issues and more at the intersection of religion and the law. In the season 7 premiere, they focus on the current Supreme Court term, including a case with an egregious violation of a person’s religious freedom rights that brought together unlikely allies.   SHOW NOTES Segment 1 (starting at 00:38): Welcome back to season 7 BJC (Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty) is also the home of Christians Against Christian Nationalism. Amanda’s book is titled How to End Christian Nationalism, and it is available wherever you get your books.:  Video of our episodes are now on YouTube! Click here for the season 7 playlist.  Do you want to receive special emails about the show? Click here to sign up for our email list!    Segment 2 (starting at 07:26): A disturbing case on religious freedom coming to the Court Read about the three cases from last term in this article from BJC’s magazine, Report from the Capital: Supreme Court issues decisions on religious charter school, exemptions and opt-out rights Amanda and Holly mentioned Steve Vladeck’s One First newsletter. BJC joined a friend-of-the-court brief in Landor v. Louisiana Department of Corrections. Click here to read the brief and see the groups that came together across other ideological lines.
