David French on religious liberty at the Supreme Court

<p>The latest term of the Supreme Court, which wrapped up on July 8th, saw the Court decide several cases with major implications for religious liberty. While the outcomes of <em>Espinoza v. Montana</em>, <em>Our Lady of Guadalupe School v. Morrissey-Berru</em> and <em>Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania</em> have been largely viewed as victories for advocates of expanding religious liberty in America, the court’s decision in <em>Bostock v. Clayton County</em>, authored by Justice Neil Gorsuch and holding that an employer who fires an individual for being gay or transgender violates Title 7 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, has been viewed as potentially having adverse consequences for the cause of religious liberty.</p><br><p>What are we to make of these latest developments in the Supreme Court’s religious liberty jurisprudence?</p><br><p>David French – Senior Editor at <em>The Dispatch</em> and a former constitutional litigator with Alliance Defending Freedom and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education – joins us to discuss the current status of religious liberty, both in the courts and in the culture writ large.</p><br><p><a href="https://blog.acton.org/archives/116556-espinoza-v-montana-a-victory-for-school-choice-but-for-how-long.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Espinoza v.
