it is that principle that is not in the united states constitution. the south african constitution says that national legislation must be enacted to prohibit unfair discrimination. nothing in our constitution says we must have a civil rights act. that is the setup. so how does this structural framework intersect with this tension between religious autonomy and nondiscrimination? here's my chart. in the united states, the right to religious autonomy is part of the higher law. the right to nondiscrimination an employment is part of the lower law. south africa, their higher law is the exercise of free law but nondiscrimination is part of the higher law. i will note that it has been recently argued that this lower law should be interpreted as a supersaturate. even if that is the case, it is hard to make an argument that it could somehow be as important as the first amendment's free exercise clause, but i will mention it is precisely because he is making that argument because this is a lower level. he doesn't focus on this case of a clash of rights, but we
