The morning read for Monday, March 31

The justice will hear oral arguments in Catholic Charities Bureau v. Wisconsin Labor & Industry Review Commission and Rivers v. Guerrero this morning. Catholic Charities is one of three religious rights cases the justices will hear in the final weeks of the 2024-25 term’s arguments. The social ministry arm of the Catholic diocese in Wisconsin urges the justices to rule that the state violated the group’s constitutional rights when Wisconsin failed to give it a religious tax exemption from state unemployment tax.
