Supreme Court's Decision on Excluding Jurors for Religious Beliefs in LGBTQ+ Case

The Supreme Court declined to review a case involving the exclusion of potential jurors with traditional religious beliefs on homosexuality in an employment discrimination lawsuit brought by a lesbian worker against Missouri's Department of Corrections. The case raised questions about whether jurors can be excluded based on their religious views, and conservative Justice Samuel Alito expressed concerns about the impact of the 2015 same-sex marriage ruling. The state ultimately lost the case and sought a new trial based on the jury selection process, but the Missouri Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
