OA439: The End of the Lemon Test?

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>It's a 97% Trump-free episode! First we have to cover the bullet points Andrew foolishly thought we could get to last week, including questions like: does a 50-50 Senate mean no more Majority Leader McConnell? and what consequences should there be for law firms that take Trump's money and file frivolous election lawsuits? and more!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Then we get to the main signature deep dive, and it's not a happy one. ***content note: this episode contains discussion of sexual assault.*** Some Jehovah's Witnesses church leaders emotionally abused a rape victim, who was a minor, and she very justifiably sued them. But the backwards-ass Mormon judges of Utah conveniently decided churches can do... whatever. While this is likely to be overturned by the Supreme Court, it also might damage Church-State Separation along the way.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Links: <a href= "https://www.jonesday.com/en/news/2020/11/jones-day-statement-regarding-election-litigation"> Jones Day Statement Regarding Election Litigation</a>, <a href= "https://today.westlaw.com/Document/Ief147bd0247611eb8dfbdfeb7526f5c7/View/FullText.html?transitionType=SearchItem&contextData=(sc.Default)"> Snell & Wilmer withdraws from election lawsuit</a>, <a href= "https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=5319289282796401927">Jehovah's Witnesses Lawsuit</a>, <a href= "https://www.deseret.com/utah/2020/11/9/21557200/utah-supreme-court-case-woman-says-church-made-her-listen-to-audio-of-her-rape-jehovahs-witnesses"> Court hears case of woman suing Utah Jehova's Witnesses over rape audio</a>.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:block {"ref":1378} /--></p>
