RFRA MENTIONED
Mike Pence got totally owned here: Jewish plaintiffs won a ruling against Indiana's abortion ban, using the law he signed 11 years ago as governor to help evangelicals refuse to cater gay weddings and such. Now similar challenges could win in other red states. We tell the story at @forward.com.

Do you remember being a Republican that didn't want to invade Mexico or anywhere else? I remember being that for years.
Of course, I quit being a Republican over invading a country, so fair enough I guess.

This is amusing to me because most law schools back when I was a student specifically taught at least one ayahuasca-related SCOTUS case involving RFRA
I'm catching up on the past couple weeks' SCOTUS oral arguments, and did we already talk about the fact that Justice Kagan gives a hypothetical about ayahuasca and Justice Barrett says, "I have never heard of the drug. ... Is it real??"

Amazing how enough of a computer background makes you ask things like "linear algebra is intrinsically anti-human?"

Anyway, one of the changes I would make to a RFRA replacement would be that corporations do not get to assert RFRA claims unless they directly go to that non-profit corporation's practice of religion. (I would word this better, I'm not drafting a statute.

the way this uses the RFRA and cites numerous examples of Christians getting their way under the law for more tenuously connected religious rights is chef's kiss

The reason we ostensibly passed RFRA in the first place was because Native Americans were being discriminated against by so-called neutral laws.
The fact that it’s now used to allow Christians to ignore duties to their employees, but CAN’T be used for the original purpose, is just bullshit.

The Supreme Court refuses to consider whether the Religious Freedom Restoration Act bars the government from destroying a sacred Western Apache site by turning it into a copper mine. Gorsuch, joined by Thomas, has an incandescently angry dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Those darned progressives hijacking RFRA, a law sponsored by Chuck Schumer and Ted Kennedy and signed into law by Bill Clinton to overturn a Supreme Court ruling written by Antonin Scalia.
This piece revives Josh Blackman’s “tentative thoughts” that liberal Jews are lying about their religious beliefs in claiming free exercise exemptions from abortion bans. He says these claims “also give progressives a way to accuse conservatives of hypocrisy.” /1
