SCOTUS Rules 6-3 That High School Football Coach's Midfield Prayer Is Constitutional

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : In Justice Sonia Sotomayor's dissent, joined by Justices Breyer and Kagan, she concluded that the majority opinion "elevates one individual's interest in personal religious exercise, in the exact time and place of that individual's choosing, over society's interest in protecting the separation between church and state, eroding the protections for religious liberty for all.
49% : In a 6-3 opinion written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that "the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment protect an individual engaging in a personal religious observance from government reprisal; the Constitution neither mandates nor permits the government to suppress such religious expression."
48% :"Both the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment protect expressions like Mr. Kennedy's.
44% : As much as the Court protests otherwise, today's decision is no victory for religious liberty."
