From the article:

  "It has been pointed out that six of the nine Supreme Court justices are Catholic. It is speculative as to how that may affect their judgments. It is interesting to note, however, that a Jewish justice, Elena Kagan, concurring (with justice Alito) to the unanimous decision in the Hosanna-Tabor case upholding the “ministerial” exemption from EEOC, says, “…-it is easy to forget that the autonomy of religious groups, both here in the United States and abroad, has often served as a shield against oppressive civil laws.” Although the Hosanna-Tabor case entails differing discrete matters of law, Kagan’s expressed understanding there of a correct limit to federal power may be reflected in her or other justices’ considerations."

I believe it will all boil down to whether the justices think the government has the right to intrude into every aspect of our lives with the full force of government compulsion, or whether the government is limited at all by the constitution.  If, contrary to every bit of evidence, the justices think the government is the master of every American, then the issue is moot, and short of revolution, our republic is well and truly lost.  
In that case, expect the government to dictate to you what you can eat, what you can wear, what activities you can engage in, who should be allowed to be born and when you must die, ad nauseam, and to tax away your wealth for the privilege of being ordered about by your "betters."
