CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, together with a coalition of partnering states, prevailed Thursday in defending religious liberty in an unanimous opinion at the U.S. Supreme Court.
The coalition’s friend-of-the-court brief had supported a Catholic services organization in its case against the City of Philadelphia. The Attorney General provides the following statement.
“This is a major victory for the First Amendment in that the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that government cannot discriminate against Catholic Social Services on the basis of its religious convictions. This is truly a great win for the free exercise of religion.”
