Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss the resignation of Sameerah Munshi from President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission after the removal of Carrie Prejean Boller. The conversation examines claims of censorship, conflicts over speech concerning Palestine, and whether ideological disagreements are undermining the very principles of free expression and religious liberty the commission was created to defend.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists v. Horton. The discussion focuses on a Maryland legal change that narrows religious hiring exemptions for faith-based organizations. Panelists examine whether courts should decide a church’s “core mission” and how the ruling could affect religious autonomy, employment practices, and constitutional protections.
