TL;DR Summary

The Supreme Court heard arguments in the case of a former postal worker, Gerald Groff, who alleges that the Postal Service violated a federal civil rights law when it failed to accommodate his religious beliefs. Groff, an Evangelical Christian, observes the Sabbath on Sundays, and his religious beliefs prevent him from working on those days. The case involves the interpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits an employer from discriminating against a worker because of their religion. The court's decision is expected by the end of June.
