SLIMANTICS CARTOONIST VIEW When a win is really a loss When The 5th District Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling against Mississippi’s HB1523, also known as “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimi- nation Act,” on Thurs- day, a lot of folks didn’t know whether to shrug their shoulders or set Slim Smith their hair on fire and run down the street. So I put the question to Matt Steffey, a profes- sor at Mississippi College School of Law, who teaches classes on the U.S. Supreme Court. “I’d say more of a shrug,” he said. “For sup- porters of this law, it’s winning a minor skir- mish in a war you’re ultimately going to lose. It’s the worst of many of these types of laws going through the courts now and is clearly unconsti- tutional.” Steffey said there is no better indicator of that than the language found in Thursday’s rul- ing, which he said did not address the real issue at the heart of the law — whether a state can codify into law the tenets of a single religion. Instead, the 5th Circuit found a way to hand religious conservatives a victory by rejecting the lower court ruling on the basis of a periph- eral issue — whether the original plaintiffs had the proper standing to bring the suit. Despite Thursday’s ruling, there are some procedural moves that could delay the law’s im- THE WORKPLACE plementation.
