Where do we draw the line? If a religious believer wishes for First Amendment reason to keep the Sabbath holy, should that believer find a line of work that doesn't require such scheduling?
In this case did the applicant disclose the 6 day per week scheduling availability?
US Supreme Court to consider religious discrimination case
The case involves a postal carrier who says he cannot work on Sunday due to his religious beliefs.A lower court had previously thrown out Gerald Groff’s case, arguing it would create "undue hardship" to exempt him from Sunday work
The United States Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal by a former mail carrier in Pennsylvania who accused the US Postal Service of religious bias after being reprimanded for refusing to deliver packages on Sundays.
The justices took up Gerald Groff’s case on Friday after lower courts dismissed his claim that the Postal Service violated federal anti-discrimination law by refusing to exempt him from working on Sundays, when the evangelical Christian observes the Sabbath. Those courts found Groff’s demands placed too much hardship on his co-workers and employer.

Where should the line be drawn?
And where will the Roberts court draw it?
