Religion & the US Supreme Court

How Does Religion Impact U.S. Supreme Court Decisions?

Moment Magazine and the Religious Freedom Center of the Freedom Forum Institute invite you to join us for a provocative and timely discussion. After a long history of Protestant domination, the current U.S. Supreme Court is comprised of six Catholics and three Jews.
