Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: Discussing State/Church Separation with Professor Corbin

Rebecca, Liz, and Alison discuss the state of state/church separation with Professor Caroline Corbin, constitutional law professor at the University of Miami. They review the history of Establishment Clause jurisprudence, remind listeners about what the Supreme Court did to the religion clauses in 2022, and discuss where we stand now in regards to rights under the First Amendment. TLDR: If you’re a Christian, rest assured it’s a “Heads I Win, Tails You Lose” court.   Background Professor Caroline Corbin’s bio  The Remains of the Establishment Clause (Lupu & Tuttle, updated 2023) James Madison’s Memorial and Remonstrance against Religious Assessments Previous We Dissent episodes on Carson v.
