On our very first episode, David Hacker, Special Counsel to the First Assistant Attorney General, joins us as we discuss the free exercise of religion clause listed in our First Amendment. We dig into the finer points of religious liberty and share details of both high and low-profile cases centered around this fundamental right.
If religious freedom is a core element of the U.S. Constitution, how does that right impact our everyday lives? Listen below:
Attorney General Paxton joined a Kentucky-led amicus brief before the Cincinnati-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit to defend religious liberty and to push back on a local government’s attempt to compel speech.
Attorney General Paxton joined two similar Virginia-led amicus briefs before the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina in defense of the religious liberties of foster care and adoption agencies who provide life-changing services to children and families across the country.
Attorney General Paxton filed a multistate amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court, led by West Virginia and Louisiana, to protect the religious liberties of workers across America.
