I told a group I was talking to last Wednesday that America has reached a new dawn that will lead to revival. The dawn always follows the darkest hours of night. One piece of evidence that the dawn is approaching has been in the courts and the battle for Natural Rights, including religious freedom. A case that has been working its way through the lower courts has been agreed to be heard by the United States Supreme Court, and it is a big one that will send a shockwave of influence throughout the country, and throughout the American System. Gerald Groff, a Christian, was forced out of his job with the United States Postal Service (USPS) when they began delivering on Sundays, and he asked for a religious exemption, even volunteering to work extra hours during the week so that he would not be required to work on Sunday. The USPS refused to grant any accommodation, indicating that despite any law on the books the USPS was not required to grant any religious accommodation to an employee for the request of time off on Sunday so that Mr. Groff may observe the Sunday Sabbath.

This should be a no brainer. However, considering the current makeup of the Court,
it will (Hopefully) be a 5-4 decision in favor of Gerald Groff.steps69

Thank God for Jurists such as Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas who have the 'intestinal fortitude' to apply the law as it should be applied.

In this case I'm on the side of Mr. Groff since they began this policy after he had been working for the USPS. Several years ago a similar religious discrimination case I didn't agree with was a newly hired man was told to begin his job the following Saturday. Being a 7th Day Adventist he refused so was fired. He then filed a religious discrimination lawsuit and won. I don't agree with the court's decision because he was a new employee and his employer has the right to set days off and shift to be worked without employees' permission. He should not have taken the job if he didn't like the hours and when he won his lawsuit the court stepped on the existing employees with seniority who wanted Saturdays off.
