RLUIPA

Read Marci Hamilton on the DOJ's decision to allocate more enforcement resources to RLUIPA cases, here.

For my earlier RLUIPA related comments and links, go here and here.

RLUIPA is an interesting confluence of (a) electorally motivated and religiously conservative communitarianism, (b) congressional attempts to assert interpretive authority in the wake of conflicts with the Supreme Court over the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and (c) more aggressive defenses of property rights (can you say, "Lochnerism-lite?").
