The Supreme Court just ruled unanimously that the Wisconsin state Supreme Court violated the First Amendment in denying tax-exempt status to the religious group Catholic Charities.
The state’s high court claimed that Catholic Charities did not proselytize and served non-Catholics, therefore they didn’t deserve tax-exempt status.
Here’s the ruling:
In the case of Wisc.'s denial of a tax exemption for religious nonprofits to Catholic Charities, the Supreme Court today reverses the decision of the Wisc. Supreme Court that said that the group didn’t qualify for the exemption b/c it did not proselytize and served non-Catholics.

It’s really bad when a state supreme court violates even the most basic tenets of the Constitution. Wisconsin voters should be ashamed of voting for these judges into power.
