New Study on Supreme Court Shows Dramatic Increase in Support for Religious Freedom

Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting the perspective from epochtime.com contributing author Mark Tapscott
“The Roberts Court has ruled in favor of religious organizations far more frequently than its predecessors, over 81% of the time, compared to about 50% for all previous eras since 1953,” legal scholars Lee Epstein and Eric Posner Jr. wrote in the latest edition of the University of Chicago’s Supreme Court Review.
“In most of these cases, the winning religion was a mainstream Christian organization, whereas in the past, pro-religion outcomes more frequently favored minority or marginal religious organizations.

John Roberts and Free Speech: A Report on the Roberts Court’s First Amendment Jurisprudence
More than any other Supreme Court justice in recent history, John Roberts has played a defining role in shaping the contours of our free‐​speech law. He’s written more than twice as many majority opinions in this area than any of his colleagues, which gives his jurisprudence staying power. There’s a certain resolve, at once philosophical and tactical, at work here. In 95 percent of the free‐​expression cases decided during his 15‐​year tenure, Roberts has been in the majority. Equally revealing, Roberts has taken the lead opinion nearly 30 percent of the time. In other words, there’s something special about this genre of cases, something that speaks to who Roberts is and what he hopes the Court bearing his name might be remembered for. In the first comprehensive report on the Roberts Court’s free‐​speech jurisprudence, Ronald Collins and David Hudson—each of whom has published more than 10 books on free speech—examine the 56 such cases handed down by the Roberts Court from 2005 through 2020. Beyond its focus on Chief Justice Roberts, the authors’ eye‐​opening study provides a detailed look at the cases, the justices’ differing approaches, and lawyers who have played key roles in influencing the Court.
