Religious Conservatism and Constitutional Law

On June 15, 2020, the Supreme Court held that the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s ban on workplace discrimination on the basis of sex proscribed not just differential treatment of male and female employees, but also differential treatment of workers on the basis of homosexuality or transgender identity. This feat of alchemy prompted a former law professor to stand up the next day in the United States Senate and declare that the decision in Bostock v. Clayton County represented "the end of the conservative legal movement."
