Adam Liptak: “The Supreme Court has become far more likely to rule in favor of religious rights in recent years, according to a new study that considered 70 years of data.”
“The study, to be published in The Supreme Court Review, documented a 35-percentage-point increase in the rate of rulings in favor of religion in orally argued cases, culminating in an 81 percent success rate in the court led by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.”
