WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a former Seattle-area football coach who lost his job because he refused to stop praying on the field. But four conservative justices said Tuesday they are interested in former Bremerton High School Coach Joe Kennedy’s case and the legal issues it raises.
Justice Samuel Alito says the high court is right to reject the appeal for now, but says he is troubled by lower courts’ handling of the case. Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas joined with Alito.
