CERT GRANTED: IJ Goes Back to the U.S. Supreme Court to Defend Educational Choice
On July 2, IJ—and parents who desperately want greater educational opportunity for their children—received some very welcome news from the U.S. Supreme Court: The Court announced that it would take up IJ’s challenge to Maine’s exclusion of religious options from the state’s educational choice program. This marks IJ’s 10th trip to the high court—and a chance to resolve one of the remaining big constitutional questions around educational choice.
In 1951, the Supreme Court began to rule that some officials officials enjoy absolute immunity—no matter how malicious, corrupt, or unconstitutional their conduct. We examine absolute immunity for legislators and judges.
