Alito Quotes Bob Dylan on Religious Freedom: ‘It’s Not Dark Yet, But It’s Getting There’
(CNSNews.com) – Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito opened the national convention of the Federalist Society in Washington, D.C., Thursday with a moving tribute to the late Justice Antonin Scalia but also warned of “unprecedented challenges to our constitutional structure” and that freedom of religion is in “greater danger.”
“Freedom of religion is in greater danger,” Alito cautioned, saying “I am reminded of a song by the latest recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature: it’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there.”
The justice was referencing Bob Dylan and his song “Not Dark Yet,” a reference greeted with laughter.
