The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of an Amish community and against Filmore County, Minnesota, which had ordered the Amish to install a septic system for graywater treatment. The Amish group objected on religious grounds, claiming the septic system violated its church rules.
The ruling overturned the decision of state courts and sent the case back to them, asking they reconsider the case in light of another recent Supreme Court decision. That earlier, unanimous decision said a Catholic foster care agency in Philadelphia may turn away LGBT clients because same-sex marriage violates Catholic religious beliefs.
