    This is well argued. It’s David French at his best. Mr. French has come under some fire in the last few weeks (see this), but there may be no better writers today when we’re talking about the Supreme Court and freedom of religion.

    This essay also correctly points out the problems with the Supreme Court choosing to decide cases narrowly. It doesn’t really resolve the issue. Worse, in religious freedom cases, it gives governments a road map: To put a devout Christian baker out of business for remaining true to his or her beliefs, follow this path, check these boxes, make these findings, and you’ll likely get away with it. That uppity, noisome Christian will be bankrupt. Good luck!
