SCOTUScast - Fulton v. City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – Post-Argument SCOTUScast
On November 4, 2020, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Fulton v. City of Philadelphia. There were three questions before the court. The first was whether free exercise plaintiffs can only succeed by proving a particular type of discrimination claim — namely that the government would allow the same conduct by someone who held different religious views — as two circuits have held, or whether courts must consider other evidence that a law is not neutral and generally applicable, as six circuits have held. The second was whether Employment Division v. Smith should be revisited. The third was whether the government violates the First Amendment by conditioning a religious agency’s ability to participate in the foster care system on taking actions and making statements that directly contradict the agency’s religious beliefs.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Bitcoin at $318,000 Next December? One Citibank Exec Says It’s Possible
Breaking down a recent report that has Bitcoin Twitter salivating and skeptical at the same time.
This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com and Nexo.io.
Today on the Brief:
- Moderna trial success drives markets up
- New all-time high in negative-yielding debt
- Jay Clayton to leave SEC
Our main discussion: BTC $318,000 in December 2021?
That’s the prediction of one Citibank exec in a report called “Bitcoin: 21st Century Gold” sent last week to institutional clients. In this episode, NLW breaks down the report, including the macro justification that sets the stage as well as the technical analysis that led to these numbers. Ultimately, he argues that what matters isn’t the report’s predictions, but the fact that its very existence suggests a shifting narrative for institutional buyers.
