ICYMI, a concerning opinion piece in today's NYT:
"The Latest Crusade to Place Religion Over the Rest of Civil Society"snip:" a very different court from the one that ruled 46 years ago is about to do the work itself.
That isn't an idle prediction but rather the surely foreordained outcome of the new case the justices recently added to their calendar for decision during the current term. The appeal was brought by a conservative Christian litigating group, First Liberty Institute, on behalf of a former postal worker, Gerald Groff, described as a Christian who regards Sunday as a day for 'worship and rest.'
Mr. Groff claimed a legal right to avoid the Sunday shifts required during peak season at the post office where he worked. Facing discipline for failing to show up for his assigned shifts, he quit and filed a lawsuit. The lower courts ruled against him, with the Philadelphia-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit expressing no doubt that the disruption and loss of morale Mr. Groff's absences caused in the small rural post office where he worked exceeded the de minimis threshold that the Supreme Court's 1977 precedent requires an employer to demonstrate."
