Newsweek said Clarence Thomas may have another opportunity to reverse a Supreme Court ruling he opposed 22 years ago.

The case connects to a student petition asking the court to reverse a decision that blocks public aid for religious studies.

That petition offers the court an opportunity to revisit the prior judgment.

A separate but related matter involving Virginia military chaplains highlights continuing legal friction over religious liberty and government funding.

The developments suggest the court could revisit settled case law on the boundary between state support and religious education.
