Supreme Court Delivers 6-3 Victory For Praying Coach Kennedy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : It 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."
50% : Justice Gorsuch also wrote that the First Amendment does not discriminate between religious and secular speech: "Here, a government entity sought to punish an individual for engaging in a brief, quiet, personal religious observance doubly protected by the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment.
45% : Kennedy's defense team countered that he had been involved in private free speech, as protected by the First Amendment.
44% : The court's 6-3 ruling in Kennedy v. Bremerton followed the same ideological lines as last week's ruling on abortion.
