Religious accommodation refers to government laws or policies that have the purpose and effect of removing a burden on, or facilitating the exercise of, a person's or an institution's religion. The 1981 United Nations Declaration on Religious Tolerance and Non-Discrimination seems to have had little legal effect on the protection of religious liberty in Japan. No provision in Japan today clearly requires the government to exempt religious practices from general applicable laws. Whether or not to confer accommodation or exemption on a religious practice is up to the court or the government. Although many episodes of religious suppression exist in Japanese history, one can argue that the history of religious regulation shows that the government's purpose was to keep social order and prote...

The pleasant sound you hear - the clatter of bad laws crumbling - is the edifice of campaign finance restrictions disintegrating. Washington state provides a fresh example of the exhaustion of the "campaign finance reform" project, which tries to empower government to restrict speech about the composition and conduct of government.
The state law at issue is awful, but usefully awful: It perfectly illustrates how the political class crafts campaign regulations for the purpose of protecting the job security of members of that class - elected incumbents.

Public Law 104-275 was enacted on October 9, 1996. It allows the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide a monetary allowance towards the private purchase of an outer burial receptacle for use in a VA national cemetery. Under VA regulation (38 CFR 38.629), the allowance is equal to the average cost of Government-furnished graveliners less any administrative costs to VA. The law provides a veteran's survivors with the option of selecting a Government-furnished graveliner for use in a VA national cemetery where such use is authorized. The purpose of this Notice is to notify interested parties of the average cost of Government-furnished graveliners, administrative costs that relate to processing and paying the allowance and the amount of the allowance payable for qualifying intermen...

Would you think it is smart to create regulations that make it all but impossible for Americans living abroad to get a bank account in the country where they live? Do you think it makes sense to impose regulations and costs on U.S. financial institutions that would drive needed foreign investment out of the United States for the sole purpose of helping foreign governments collect taxes from their own citizens?
Last week, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and U.S. Treasury held a hearing on a proposed regulation that is so dumb and destructive that people had assumed it was buried for good a decade ago, when it originally was proposed. Essentially, the proposed regulation would require U.S. banks to report the names of foreign account holders to their governments even though those forei...
