Faith conservatives cheered by high court rulings: High-profile First Amendment cases
Conservative religious organizations praised the Supreme Court term that ended last month, saying they are pleased with the way the court resolved several high-profile First Amendment disputes.
The court left high school students with considerable leeway to voice religious opinions, cleared the way for interest group–funded campaign ads, and shielded part of the White House’s faith-based initiative from challenge in the courts. The justices also upheld the constitutionality of a federal ban on so-called partial-birth abortions.
