Supreme Court Justices are expected to authorize vouchers at religious schools
[Free Beacon] The Biden administration plans to push the Supreme Court to dismiss a school-voucher case on a technicality, fearing that a ruling that allows state funds to go toward religious uses will throw open public coffers to religious schools.The Biden Justice Department during oral arguments on Wednesday will press the Court to dismiss the case. The plaintiffs have a leg up heading into the argument because the Court said in decisions from 2017 and 2020 that religious groups can't be excluded from public benefits because of their religious identity. The case, Carson v. Makin, involves two sets of parents from Maine who are seeking a wider distribution of state tuition assistance for religious schools. The Biden administration's stance is a sign the Justice Department anticipates losing the case, which would be a blow to Democrats and their union allies. Posted by: Besoeker 2021-12-08 |
