Religious Freedom Under Fire: Erin Mersino on the Supreme Court & Title IX
Religious freedom may be written into the Constitution—but without people willing to defend it, those protections are only words. Constitutional attorney and Legatus member Erin Mersino joins the Eleven Talents Podcast to share her journey from criminal prosecutor to religious-liberty advocate. She recounts helping lead the legal fight against the HHS mandate, obtaining one of the country’s first injunctions against it, and ultimately winning at the Supreme Court. Erin opens up about bringing her Catholic faith into the courtroom, the prayers she turns to before a case and how she balances a demanding legal vocation with raising five boys. She also shares the moving story of her youngest son’s Down syndrome diagnosis and his unexpected birth at home. The conversation looks ahead to the legal battles facing America—including free speech, faith in public life, Title IX, women’s sports and the meaning of religious liberty itself. It’s a conversation about courage, motherhood, justice and answering God’s call when the stakes are high.
