Supreme Court Slaps Down EEOC 9-0

The Supreme Court slapped the Obama administration down 9-0 today. The EEOC backed the complaint of Cheryl Perich a teacher who had been dismissed on religious grounds. Perich and the EEOC had sought to strip away the "ministerial exception" that allows churches to hire and fire according to the dictates of their faith.

Chief Justice John Roberts; "The EEOC and Perich originally sought an order reinstating Perich to her former position as a called teacher. By requiring the Church to accept a minister it did not want, such an order would have plainly violated the Church's freedom under the Religion Clauses to select its own ministers."
