Kyle Peterson: 我认为最高法院最近审理的几起案件都非常重要。其中一起是关于反向歧视的案件,涉及一位声称因性取向而受到歧视的雇员。此案的关键问题在于,多数群体成员提出歧视指控时,是否需要满足更高的法律门槛。我认为最高法院在此案中明确表示,所有人都应受到平等保护,无论其种族、性别或性取向如何。此外,最高法院还审理了一起关于宗教自由的案件,涉及威斯康星州对天主教慈善机构的税收豁免。我认为此案强调了宗教组织在提供慈善服务时,不应受到歧视。总的来说,我认为这些案件表明,最高法院致力于保护所有美国人的平等权利和宗教自由。 Kim Strassel: 我同意Kyle的观点,最高法院最近的裁决对于保护个人权利至关重要。关于反向歧视案件,我认为大法官们明确表示,歧视就是歧视,无论受害者是少数群体还是多数群体。我认为克拉伦斯·托马斯大法官的协同意见特别有见地,他指出,试图区分多数群体和少数群体可能会非常棘手。关于宗教自由案件,我认为威斯康星州最高法院的裁决非常令人不安,因为它实际上要求宗教组织在提供慈善服务时必须进行宗教宣传。我认为索尼娅·索托马约尔大法官正确地指出,这种做法是对第一修正案的侵犯。总的来说,我认为这些案件表明,最高法院致力于捍卫美国宪法的基本原则。
