Supreme Court Rejects Church Tax Challenge and TV Ban In California
The high court refused to hear Maryland challenges to church real estate tax exemptions and let stand California's ban on home pay television as unconstitutional. The Maryland suit, joined by Madalyn Murray O’Hair and others, argued exemptions subsidize religion against the First and Fourteenth Amendments. California’s ruling, upheld by its Supreme Court, contends the ban bans a charge for in-home access via coaxial cables and airways.
