Two religious schools in Maine have requested a First Circuit panel to invalidate a legislative measure intended to counter a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allows these schools to participate in a government tuition program. The request follows a recent Supreme Court decision affirming the schools' eligibility for the program. The case has drawn attention from legal experts, including Professor Michael McConnell, who has provided analysis on related religion clause cases pending before the Supreme Court. Additionally, former Justice Stephen Breyer has returned to the First Circuit, engaging in discussions reminiscent of his time on the Supreme Court, as he hears challenges related to various legal matters, including a cruise ship ordinance.
