Supreme Court Rules For Bearded Muslim Inmate, Upholding Religious Rights Of Prisoners

The court’s unanimous ruling Tuesday in a case about religious liberty stands in contrast to the Hobby Lobby case that bitterly divided the justices in June over whether family-owned corporations could mount religious objections to paying for women’s contraceptives under the health care overhaul.
