NPR reports that the U.S. Supreme Court opens a new term Monday with major cases on religion, guns, climate change and immigration. MSU law professor Frank Ravitch commented on the court’s dramatic shift in church-state doctrine since President Trump appointed three justices. “It’s literally the opposite of what the law was not that long ago, and it’s just a complete shift,” Ravitch said. The court may consider requiring taxpayers to fund religious schools that refuse to admit LGBTQ students, with a Colorado case testing a Catholic parish’s demand for state preschool funding while maintaining exclusionary admissions policies.
