"They should not be allowed to discriminate in the hiring of people on the basis of a religious or ethnic origin," said Bill Powers, one of the founders of the ACLU. Mr. Powers, who retired in 2014, told the Associated Press that the organization supported "freedom of religion, equality and the rule of law in all branches of government and is an active supporter of civil rights for all Americans."

But the Justice Department has not been able to convince the ACLU that the government's case is too far-fetched to justify blocking companies that perform such services for religious reasons. In an opinion on the ACLU's behalf, the New York federal court said the case was "not a case of the government imposing religious requirements or restrictions on religious groups, but rather a case of a religious company providing services based on religious beliefs, not on the individual's choice."

The case is the first to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court since the Justice Department announced last year that it would not challenge a state law that restricts religious groups from hiring on the basis of their faith or ethnicity.

In that case, the federal government argued that the state law discriminated against employees of religious organizations on the basis of their religious beliefs, and that the law "is one way to enforce federal religious freedom."

The Obama administration has also been trying to get the Supreme Court to rule on religious freedom in the state-run civil rights case. The federal appeals court in California has already ruled that the California law in question discriminates against employees of religious organizations based on their religion.

The ACLU filed a brief in the case in September 2013 arguing that the California law is unconstitutional, stating that "while it does not bar employers from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation or disability, it does not bar federal officials from discriminating in the hiring of religious workers and their religious belief."
