Strict scrutiny is brought to you by Americans United for separation of church and state.

You don't destroy 250 years of secular democracy without gutting precedent, shattering norms,

and dropping a few billion. The same people and groups that back Project 2025 are part of a

larger shadow network that's relentlessly pushing to impose a Christian nationalist agenda on our laws and our lives.

Church state separation is the bulwark blocking their agenda. One of the last bastions of church

state separation is our public school system. So they are pushing vouchers everywhere. They're

arguing for religious public schools. Yes, you heard that right. Religious public schools.

And they've been pushing for it at the Supreme Court. The case was recently decided.

Happily, they failed this time, but they're going to be pushing again. And we are going to see

the same kind of question bubble up to the court once again. We've talked about this.

So if you're listening to strict scrutiny,

you already see the writing on the wall and you know that we can and we must fight back. So join

Americans United for Separation of Church and State and their growing movement because church

state separation protects us all. Learn more and get involved at AU.org forward slash crooked.

Hey listeners, it's Melissa Murray here. Before we get to the rest of the show, I want to tell

you about amicus. It's a weekly podcast about the U.S. Supreme Court that's hosted by

our friends, Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern. Their perspectives on the Supreme Court, and indeed

the fight for democracy, is absolutely essential listening. This June, Emacus is in full opinion

paloosa mode, dropping emergency episodes when the biggest decisions come down and sharing incisive

analysis of the power struggle between SCOTUS and POTUS with some of the smartest court

watchers out there in fresh episodes every Saturday.
