Michael Helfand - Religion & the U.S. Constitution
Michael Helfand is a religious liberties professor in Pepperdine and Yale law school. Michael taught me in a seminar in UCLA (you could hear a pin drop) about how religious rights can act as a sword and a shield. That class's goal was to decide if we prefer laws from the judiciary or the legislature. I'm curious after you hear this episode what your opinion is (if we ought to have judge's writing our laws or our state and federal elected congressional representatives.) This episode is fun because Michael provides unique insight on new Supreme Court opinions that restructure religious rights, and his prediction on LGBQT litigation in Yeshiva University (he's an alumnus of YU), U.S. abortion rights, and his favorite Supreme Court cases. The only question Michael refuses to answer is if he's a rabbi.
