An Interesting Question SCOTUS Won't Answer — Yet

The Supreme Court on Tuesday turned down a religion case I was tracking, deciding not to weigh in on whether potential jurors can be eliminated from consideration based on their religious beliefs about sexuality and marriage. ...The battle was between the Missouri Department of Corrections and one of its employees, Jean Finney, who alleged that she had faced sex discrimination at work. During the jury selection process for the trial, Finney’s lawyer asked potential jurors if they believe homosexuality is a sin. He then moved to dismiss the jurors who said yes, arguing that their religious beliefs would affect their beliefs about Finney’s case, since she is a lesbian.
