California v. Grace Brethren Church
Supreme Court of the United States
Decided June 18, 1982No. 81-31PublishedCited by 507 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice O’Connor
The principal question presented by the parties to these appeals is whether certain state and federal statutes violate the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses of the First Amendment1 by requiring religious schools unaffiliated with any church to pay unemployment insurance taxes. We do not reach this substantive question, however, holding instead that the Tax Injunction Act, 28 U. S. C. § 1341,2 deprived the District Court of jurisdiction to hear these challenges. Accordingly, we vacate the judgment below.
