“This is the best Supreme Court I’ve seen for Orthodox Jews in my lifetime”
Attorney Nathan Lewin, founder of the Washington DC-based family law firm Lewin and Lewin LLP, and author of the many briefs filed for the National Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs (“COLPA”), took that one step further.
“This is the best Supreme Court I’ve seen for Orthodox Jews in my lifetime,” said Lewin. For more than half a century, Lewin has built a well-deserved reputation as Orthodox Jewry’s foremost advocate at the Supreme Court, arguing dozens of cases, filing hundreds of friend- of-the-court (amicus curiae) briefs, and forming personal friendships with several justices.
“The decisions the court rendered in this term in regard to religion, and those they will be rendering in the coming term, are monumental steps forward in terms of protecting the rights of Orthodox Jews,” Lewin said.
We will review the main rulings shortly, but while I had Lewin on the phone, I inquired about some of the sharp criticism both President Trump and Vice President Pence have leveled on the court, questioning whether Trump is getting his “money’s worth” out of his two picks — Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh — especially with Gorsuch having joined the court’s liberals in the Bostock v. Clayton County gender discrimination case.
