The Supreme Court on Monday will tackle a dispute concerning two teachers who sought to file employment discrimination claims against the religious schools that fired them.

Seven years ago, the Supreme Court recognized a"ministerial exception" for the first time, holding that under the First Amendment the government could not interfere with a church's hiring decisions. The justices held that the teacher in that case could be considered a"minister" under the law, triggering the exception.Now the justices will address the scope of that decision and whether it bars teachers -- who say they have limited religious duties -- from bringing suit.

""By imposing an unwanted minister, the state infringes the Free Exercise Clause, which protects a religious group's right to shape its own faith and mission through its appointments," Roberts said. Supreme Court justices are behaving nicely on the phone. It may impact who winsBut Roberts said that he was"reluctant" to adopt a rigid formula for deciding when an employee qualifies as a minister.

People have a right to live their lives and make their own decisions about their safety. The government overreach for a Virus is out of control.
