“In certain quarters religious liberty has fast become a disfavored right,” he said. “For many today, religious liberty is not a cherished freedom. It’s often just an excuse for bigotry and it can’t be tolerated even when there’s no evidence that anybody has been harmed.”
Is he setting up a ruling justification? Warning governors off?
I like Thomas’ term “diminished right” better than “disfavored”.
