#SCOTUS rules 5-4 that Montana’s exclusion of religious schools from state scholarship program funded by tax credits violates federal Constitution

Here is the 5-4 opinion from Chief Justice Roberts in Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue with separate dissents from Ginsburg, Breyer, and Sotomayor supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf…

Roberts' majority opinion in Espinoza hinges on a provision of the Montana constitution that bars state money from going to religious schools. Roberts says that provision, as applied here, violates the free exercise clause of the U.S. constitution.
