Venue: |
SCOTUS
|
|
Facts: |
RLUIPA and marginal religions in prison populations. |
|
Posture: |
Unclear |
|
Issue: |
Do the prisoners' requests for accomodations for their free
exercise ask the state to take actions that would amount
to establishment? |
|
Holding: |
No. |
|
Rule: |
RLUIPA fits in the corridor between the religion clauses; on its
face it's not unconstitutional. |
|
Reasoning: |
The accomodations generally aren't much, and they're things already
granted to other religions. This doesn't elevate prisoner
requests above concerns for prison security and safety. |
