No not really. Clearly the court has supreme jurisdiction but traditionally


it has been loathe to overturn precedent or to set broad constitutional precedent. Often they will choose to rule based on a narrow legal question rather than open a can of worms. This will open a can of worms if they aren't careful as all those cases Sullivan listed and more will start moving through the court system. The danger, of course, is that they will rule broadly that there is religious infringement here. Hell, in a plural society who isn't offended by something? Nobody is stopping you from going to church where you want to. It is everybody's best interest to make sure the commerce is unimpeded by these trivial claims of harm.
