The Supreme Court refuses to hear most cases submitted to it.
That’s absolutely true. It could very well end up in a lower Federal court or even a state court since the California Constitution also protects religious practices.
From Article I, Section 4 of the California Constitution:
SEC. 4. Free exercise and enjoyment of religion without
discrimination or preference are guaranteed. This liberty of
conscience does not excuse acts that are licentious or inconsistent with the peace or safety of the State. The Legislature shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
