The Supreme Court signaled Monday it is poised to side with Catholic Charities in a dispute over whether religiously affiliated groups are entitled to an exemption from certain state taxes, a decision that could expand the types of groups that would receive a break under the First Amendment.

The Supreme Court appears to be leaning toward a Catholic charitable organization pushing back against the state of Wisconsin in the latest religious rights case to come before the court.

The Wisconsin Catholic Charities case has implications for other religiously connected nonprofits, including hospitals, and for state unemployment systems.
