…des. It ensures that the US makes public proclamations about democracy and freedom, while in reality, democracy is subsumed and sacrificed every day to self-interest, be that oil or domestic support for Israel.

…at remain) has been attacked or threatened, is evidence of the strong ties between Christian and Muslim in this country. Seeing the immensely polite attitude of people searching those coming into Tahrir.

…havior and unusual but largely harmless traditions is blurred. In the most extreme examples, shining a spotlight on a dangerous religious movement, such as that of Jim Jones or Heaven’s Gate, is not only newsworthy, but a call to give protection and a voice to those who have none.

RFRA, Ginsburg argued, reinstated the law to pre-Smith jurisprudence without creating any “new rights for any religious practice or for any potential litigant.” “Despite these authoritative indications, the Court sees RFRA as a bold initiative departing from, rather than restoring, pre-Smith jurisprudence,” she wrote.
