• Counting heads on RFRA.

The US Supreme Court will hand down an opinion on City of Boerne v. Flores and the constitutionality of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1997, and it appears that at least a 7-2 majority of the Court will find the law constitutional. The statute restored the strict scrutiny test for neutral government action that imposes a substantial burden on the free exercise of religion. Votes in support of the statute are most likely to come from the moderate justices, O'Connor, Kennedy and Souter, and from conservatives Scalia and Thomas, and it is possible that the vote may be unanimous.
