Where Religious Freedom Ends

It takes time for the culture and political system to assimilate a landmark Supreme Court decision. In the two months since the court declared a constitutional right to same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges, some opponents of gay marriage have gone into a panic, declaring the End of Religious Freedom in America. That reaction is both overwrought and premature. The fact is that we don't yet know how the law will adjust to the new constitutional order of things — though two decisions announced this week give us some hints about where the debate may be headed.
