Religious Liberty vs LGBTQ Equality - part 15
Rebuilding the eroded wall between church and state, and the Supreme Court's current approach to religious liberty.
Senior Counsel Jennifer C. Pizer and OutCaster Isha continue their
conversation about religious liberty and how it can conflict with
another constitutional guarantee, equality. Rebuilding the eroded wall
between church and state; envisioning the legal approach of the newest
Supreme Court justice, Amy Coney Barrett, on religious liberty and LGBTQ
issues; examining the Court's approaches to abortion and Covid through
the lens of religious liberty; and the gap between reality and the
ideals that the United States is supposed to represent.
