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

The case connects to a student petition calling for the reversal of a decision that blocks public aid for religious studies.

That petition offers the court an opportunity to revisit the earlier ruling.

A separate but related matter involving Virginia military chaplains shows ongoing legal tensions over freedom of religion and state funding.

The developments point to the court revisiting longstanding precedent on the boundary between state support and religious education.
