Podcasts about religious rights

William Penn famously said, “Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.” Are we witnessing this happening in our country today? Are more Americans, perhaps unknowingly, choosing to surrender their freedoms and loyalty to the elites on the far Left who seek to undermine our Republic? America is undoubtedly facing one of the most challenging elections in its history that could determine its future. In this episode, Jason explores the significance of our freedoms, the challenges we confront, and our critical role in protecting the values that define our nation.

A Note from James: I'm confused. There are so many national and international issues being debated on constitutional grounds lately. For example, issues at the Texas border and federal versus state powers—like the case of friends versus the state of Colorado. Does a state have the right to decide who appears on the national presidential ballot?Regarding COVID-19, I'm wondering if it was constitutional to close down all the businesses. It might have been the right decision, but does it infringe on our right to life, liberty, and property without due process? I posed these questions to a renowned constitutional expert, the author of "The Odd Clauses," who is also a professor of constitutional law at Boston University, Jay Wexler. He provided insights into which recent events were constitutional and which may not have been. Here's what he had to say.Episode Description:James leads an enlightening conversation with Jay Wexler, a professor of constitutional law at Boston University and author of 'The Odd Clauses'. They explore topics ranging from state rights in decision-making, such as Texas' border policies and Colorado's stance on the national presidential ballot, to significant constitutional debates such as the power of the Supreme Court, the implications of COVID-19 business shutdowns, and the increasingly prominent discussions around freedom of speech and presidential powers. Wexler provides deep insights into each topic, shedding light on the constitutional underpinnings and contemporary interpretations that inform these critical national discussions. The discussion also touches on potential constitutional conflicts and the nuanced understanding required to navigate these issues, with particular emphasis on the importance of Constitution's adaptability over time and the ongoing debate between originalism versus evolutionary interpretation. Episode Summary:01:00 Introduction: The Constitution in the News01:46 Interview with Constitutional Expert Jay Wexler02:33 The Life of a Law Professor03:13 Challenges of Teaching in the Digital Age04:49 Constitutional Battles in Recent Years06:16 The Power of the Supreme Court07:00 The Intricacies of Marbury v.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: The Drive at 5: David Wildstein of The New Jersey Globe reports that the NJ Supreme Court concluded that “a parochial school didn't violate New Jersey's discrimination laws when it fired a teacher for not abiding by the teachings of the Catholic Church after learning that she had premarital sex” in a case brought before the state's highest court. You can read the full article here: https://newjerseyglobe.com/judiciary/n-j-top-court-says-catholic-school-can-fire-a-teacher-for-being-unmarried-pregnant/ During Monday's briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she had nothing to add when asked about U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss being appointed as Special Counsel in the Hunter Biden investigation.

On this episode of The Lieb Cast, we talk with legal expert Joshua Ritter about two big decisions made by the Supreme Court. The first one, called 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, is about a Christian website designer who didn't want to make websites for same-sex weddings. The court decided that it was her right to choose what kind of work she wants to do. The second case, Groff v. DeJoy, involves a postal worker who didn't want to work on Sundays because of his religious beliefs. The court sided with the worker, saying that employers must make reasonable accommodations for employees' religious practices. These two cases could change the way businesses treat their employees' rights to free speech and religious freedom.Joshua Ritter, Esq., Media Legal Analyst and Podcast Host of "True Crime Daily: The Sidebar", lends his legal expertise to help us navigate these complex rulings, discussing their wider impact on society and the potential contradictions within the court's interpretations. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that's as timely as it is critical.

In the shortest news hit we've ever provided, the Fox Dominion trial is back on. There has been no confirmation as to what the 24 hour delay was for. All the news stories you're reading today that try to say more are just speculating. The end. Dominion's defamation case against Fox poised for trial after delay | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear an appeal by former mail carrier Gerald Groff, who claims that the U.S. Postal Service discriminated against him on religious grounds. Groff, an evangelical Christian, was disciplined for refusing to work on Sundays, when he observes the Sabbath. Lower courts dismissed Groff's lawsuit, arguing that exempting him from Sunday work would place too much hardship on his co-workers and employer. Groff's case centers on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on religion, among other factors. His attorneys are asking the Supreme Court to require companies to show "significant difficulty or expense" before denying a religious accommodation. The case has sparked debate over whether religious people are more deserving than others of weekend days off from work. Unions representing postal workers have urged the justices to consider the hardship that religious accommodations have on co-workers. The case is being closely watched as the Supreme Court, with its 6-3 conservative majority, has a track record of expanding religious rights.US Supreme Court tackles religious bias claim against Postal Service | ReutersU.S. News & World Report has delayed the release of its annual law school rankings by a week amid claims that the employment data they used is flawed. The publication gave an early copy of the rankings to schools on April 11th, as is customary, and some of them say they have already identified discrepancies with the data. The rankings are now scheduled to be published on April 25th. This year, U.S. News & World Report said it would give full weight to law graduates in school-funded fellowships and those in graduate program, a change from how employment was previously reported. The ostensible reason those outcomes were not reported as employment on par with a firm or in-house was the degree to which a school could “hire” its own graduates to bolster its numbers. Law schools say US News rankings include faulty job data, as release delayed | ReutersJohnson & Johnson's subsidiary is seeking to pause more than 38,000 lawsuits alleging that its talc products cause cancer, as it takes another attempt at resolving the litigation in bankruptcy. At a hearing in Trenton, New Jersey, LTL Management will argue that the "automatic stay" under bankruptcy law should also protect J&J, which has a market value of over $430 billion and has not filed for bankruptcy itself. Two groups of cancer plaintiffs and the US Department of Justice's bankruptcy watchdog have opposed the company's bid for a stay, arguing that it is a fraudulent attempt to evade the earlier court ruling. Before the talc lawsuits could resume, LTL filed for bankruptcy a second time, re-opening the legal battle over the bankruptcy's legitimacy. J&J has offered $8.9 billion to settle the claims, but has not provided details about how much each claimant would receive from the deal. Some plaintiffs groups have backed the company's new bankruptcy, and J&J says that attorneys who represent 60,000 plaintiffs have agreed to support the current settlement offer. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Michael Kaplan will now decide whether to stop the lawsuits again to give LTL a second shot at a bankruptcy settlement.J&J talc unit again seeks to halt 38,000 cancer lawsuits | ReutersApple's tax agreement with its hometown of Cupertino, California, has come under scrutiny by state regulators, who likely believe that the agreement is a form of taxpayer-fleecing collusion — and they'd be right. The issue concerns an agreement in which Apple assigns online purchases in California as if they were made within the city limits of Cupertino. This allows Cupertino to benefit from the 1% allocation of the 9.125% sales tax rate for purchases made within the city. Since 1998, Cupertino has handed 35% of that local portion, amounting to $107.7 million, to Apple, which in no doubt is partly prompting California to launch an audit. The state is examining the extent to which the California purchases attributed to Cupertino are legitimately tied to Cupertino. The permissibility of arrangements like these could give rise to bidding wars between municipalities, each vying to offer the most generous kickbacks in exchange for a corporation allocating its state sales to that location, benefiting only the corporation with the deepest pockets. Sales tax is, as it is, regressive and places a larger burden on low-income taxpayers. These agreements preserve that regressivity at the individual level and inject an additional element of regressiveness at the corporate level. Such arrangements distort the distribution of revenue among communities, taking hundreds of millions of already-collected dollars out of potential budgets for projects and putting them directly in the pockets of big corporations. Thus, the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration is right to launch an audit into this particular arrangement as it is pulling already-collected and remitted sales tax, paid by consumers, out of the coffers of the state and local government and putting it directly in the hands of Apple. Big problem. Apple's Agreement With Cupertino Is Taxpayer-Fleecing Collusion Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Mat Staver is the founder - chairman of Liberty Counsel. He is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He's an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith - Freedom and Freedom's Call.--The first quarter hour involved Matt's views concerning the latest on the so-called -Respect for Marriage Act.- 39 Republicans and all 219 Democrats in the House of Representatives wasted no time passing this act which is now on the way to President Biden for his signature. --Mat noted that while this has the same-sex portion, it originally opened up the door for polygamy. Due to push-back, an amendment was issued that said it won't do that. However, a loophole hasn't been closed to child-bride marriages because what the law says is that one state has to give recognition to another state's marriage and it's not just on same-sex marriage- this also applies to child-bride marriages that come out of California -where you can marry a 10 year old-. Most states have laws against such marriages but all those would now be overruled. --This week the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that collides the LGBTQ political agenda with not simply religious speech, but all free speech. It will determine whether individuals can be forced to violate their own religious convictions that don't conform to state accepted beliefs. Mat filed an amicus brief to the high court on behalf of Lori Smith in the case known as 303 Creative v. Elenis.--Lori is a creative web designer who makes unique websites for each couple she meets and that want her to use her artistic talents to help them celebrate their marriage.

Agudah Convention 2022 Panel with R' Eytan Kobre, moderated by R' Ariel Sadwin. R' Aaron begins at 13:58 Available to watch here.

https://givesendgo.com/jdruckerThe Satanic Temple continues to be the best champion for radical leftists who want to overturn abortion bans that are popping up in red states across the nation. Democrats have tacitly accepted that this is really about "Satanic Abortion Ritual," and therefore helped frame this issue in a way the Christian conservative right has always viewed it: Good vs Evil.The context of this move cannot be dismissed. For the Satanic Temple to claim it's a religious right to kill a preborn child is acknowledgement of what they and the left truly desire. This isn't about a woman's bodily autonomy. It's about a religion's need to sacrifice children. Some leftists may balk at that characterization, but the devil is in the details.

Required vaccines? Critical Race Theory? Prayer in school? Religious students and teachers across America face many new challenges as they settle into the fall semester. Thankfully, attorney Keisha Russell joins First Liberty Live! to discuss these challenges and unpack the rights that students and teachers have to live out their faith.

Brian updates us on his recent decision to file a  lawsuit again the Boston public schools for violating his Constitutional and parental rights. This is your opportunity to contribute to a cause that could potentially stop the Leftists in their tracks and start to reverse the rot that has taken hold in the public schools. Give just a few dollars and repost this interview and link!https://wethepatriotsusa.org/translawsuit/

There are about half a dozen big cases left in the current Supreme Court term that began last October. The 6-3 conservative majority on the Court has an opportunity to make a colossal impact on our country over the next month as decisions will be issued regarding not just Roe v. Wade and the fate of federally protected abortion rights, but also gun rights, religious rights, and the limits of executive authority. And as per usual, the implications for these new decisions affecting other rights looms large. In today's episode Jessica gives a short preview of what to expect.

The ruling, which was 8-1, is the first time the Supreme Court has issued a full opinion on the role clergy can play in executions, and provides guidance for death penalty states on how to handle the issue going forward.

In the United States, laws have been created and upheld which favor religious freedoms over the health and well-being of United States citizens. In this RfRx, Torah Bontrager will return to discuss the supremacy of religious rights over other basic human rights, including education (a theme of the Amish Heritage Foundation's work and the topic of their upcoming conference). A report by the Columbia Law School's Law, Rights, and Religion Project shows that "the Supreme Court's COVID-era opinions have created a hierarchy of constitutional rights, with religious rights at the top." This discussion will cover how this happened, how this affects everyday people, where we are headed, and what we can do about it. Torah Bontrager escaped in the middle of the night at age 15 so she could go to high school. She's the author of Amish Girl in Manhattan and, to her knowledge, the first female Amish escapee to graduate from the Ivy League. Her story's been featured on MTV and Forbes.com, among others. Today, she advocates for the right of Amish children to go to school beyond the 8th grade. Torah founded The Amish Heritage Foundation, which focuses on making education a federal right and overturning the Supreme Court case Wisconsin v. Yoder.

Public policy is full of difficult dilemmas, tough cases where there are strong interests on both sides. Such dilemmas are not usually solved as much as they are managed. That's why two federal departments recently expanded the rights of religious employers. During the Obama years, the federal government had required religious employers to provide birth control coverage in their health insurance plans even when contrary to their religious beliefs. And the government had limited the rights of religious employers to hire or favor people who shared their beliefs. This action properly swings the pendulum back in favor of religious rights, which are protected by the First Amendment. Civil rights are also constitutionally protected, which is what creates the tension. In the end, both rights are powerful, but neither is absolute.A liberal president pushes too far in one direction and a conservative administration appropriately pushes back. Ultimately, the Supreme Court may well have to decide how to manage this difficult dilemma.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In April 1969 Sikh bus drivers and conductors in the northern English town of Wolverhampton won the right to wear a turban on duty after a two year campaign. One of the key tenents of the Sikh religion is that men must grow a beard and long hair secured by a comb and covered by a turban. Farhana Haider has been speaking to Avtar Singh Azad who led the campaign in the fight for Sikh religious rights.Photo Sikh bus driver 1972. Credit BBC
