<p>In its latest term, the U.S. Supreme Court decided two highly consequential decisions pertaining to the religion clauses of the First Amendment: <em>Carson v. Makin</em> and <em>Kennedy v. Bremerton School District</em>. Lindsay Langholz speaks this week with Ira "Chip" Lupu, Professor Emeritus of Law at GW Law School, about these two cases, just how divergent the decisions are from the Court's prior precedent, and what listeners should expect next given the Court's seemingly overt religious agenda.</p> <p><strong>Join the Progressive Legal Movement Today:</strong> <a href="https://www.acslaw.org/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">ACSLaw.org</a></p> <p><strong>Today's</strong> <strong>Host:</strong> Lindsay Langholz, <a href="https://www.acslaw.org/person/lindsay-langholz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ACS Director of Policy and Program</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Ira C.
