This is a CBSI in the world. I'm John Batcheworth Professor Richard Epstein of the Hoover Institution, a senior fellow, teaches law at NYU in the University of Chicago. The decision by the Supreme Court

six to three about religious instruction schools and whether the state is or is not compelled to provide the same vouchers to schools

that teach religion that it does to schools that don't teach religion.

This turns on, I learned from the professor in a recent podcast, on two parts of the

First Amendment, freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It also connects to a case that is

before the Supreme Court that will be decided I believe next term

a 303 creative.

Yeah, well this is a re-run to some extent of what happened with respect to the Second Amendment.

The way in which the earlier cases have been decided,

state courts have held that the anti-discrimination law

is so powerful and so important that what it does

is it overrides the interest that any ordinary individual

has not to essentially supply goods and services in a marketplace which violate their fundamental

religious beliefs.

And most of these people are very circumspect about what they do.

They will provide virtually any kind of standardized service, any service that's unrelated

to same-sex marriage or other kinds of things

that offend their biblical beliefs and what's happened is it has always been

held in most states that the anti-discrimination principle is so strong that overrides these issues.

My view is the Supreme Court is going to reverse all of that and it's going to do it in exactly

the same way that we just saw with the gun case. You'll look at the free exercise of the

religion, you look at the freedom of speech, the two of them silly run into parallel.
