-- Michael McConnell, Mallory Professor of Law, Stanford Law School and Director of the Stanford Constitutional Law Center Among the many rights and freedoms that Americans enjoy, what is the correct Constitutional status of the right of religious freedom?

These questions are at the heart of the current national debate over religious freedom, contraception, and the new federal health care law.
