On Wednesday, First Liberty argued at the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Mississippi evangelist Gabe Olivier.
A local ordinance banned Gabe from sharing his faith in a public park. He filed a lawsuit claiming his constitutional rights were violated. But the case was dismissed under a confusing legal precedent. It stopped Gabe from having the opportunity to have his day in court.
We made the case to the justices that Americans should be able to plead their case in court if their constitutional rights—including religious freedom—are violated.
First Liberty President & CEO Kelly Shackelford, Senior Counsel Nate Kellum and Gabe gave their reaction immediately following Wednesday’s hearing. They broke down what happened inside the courtroom and why we’re optimistic about securing a victory for Gabe and millions of Americans.
