Scientology on Trial
Hitchcoc22 July 2022
Are all those things true. I thought the foundations of Mormonism were pretty weird. Where's Tom Cruise in all this? Jerry is back and he has fired a guy for annoying clients with his proselytizing on Scientology. Once again, the guy is totally weird. And he has fallen for one of the lawyers and has a hard fall involving Alan. The trial of the judge's wife's murder goes on with a startling revelation. Pretty soap opera like.

too bad Kelley didn't use the correct law
jseberg18 October 2006
You can't win a religious discrimination case by citing "freedom of religion is guaranteed in the Constitution."

The Constitution doesn't cover relationships between individuals, such as employers and employees, only relationships between the government and its citizens. None of the freedoms covered in the Bills of Rights are absolute, so your boss, your mother, or your spouse, can "take away" your freedom of speech and assembly, etc. without any problem.

Discrimination in employment based on religion, however, is prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The employee should have won his case, Alan Shore knew that, and he should have urged his client to settle. But then we wouldn't have gotten to hear Kelley's great slicing and dicing of Scientology. Brilliant!
