12: In God we trust? The crumbling church-state wall. Interview with Frank Ravitch

It's been a roller-coaster ride over the past few years for those who've been following the current Supreme Court's interpretation of the First Amendment's religion clauses. Decades of jurisprudence has been upended, encouraging states to pass laws that push the constitutional boundaries when it comes to endorsing religious messages.

Frank S. Ravitch, Professor of Law, Michigan State University.
