Supreme Court rules on seniority and religious rights
The Supreme Court, in a 7 to 2 decision, held that civil rights law does not force employers to discriminate to accommodate religious needs.

Dissenters called the ruling tragic for religious diversity. The court also allowed a singlePHOTO identification as admissible and limited a double jeopardy scenario involving car theft versus joyriding.
