ROBERTS, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BREYER, SOTOMAYOR, KAGAN, KAVANAUGH, and BARRETT, JJ., joined. BARRETT, J., filed a concurring opinion, in which KAVANAUGH, J., joined, and in which BREYER, J., joined as to all but the first paragraph. ALITO, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment, in which THOMAS and GORSUCH, JJ., joined. GORSUCH, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment, in which THOMAS and ALITO, JJ., joined.

It’s for the adoption agency, btw.

On a rather technical point. The entire case seems to have been decided on the basis of the fact that the City of Philadelphia was permitted to grant exceptions to the mandate.

Yes, this feels like a 4D chess move from Roberts and the liberals.

Barrett’s concurrence (which Kavanaugh joined) is facially pretty open to overruling Smith - looks like if some future person can comr up with a workable non-Smith standard there’d be five votes to overrule?
