Marci A. Hamilton: “The Folly of the Federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act and Texas’s Too”

Marci A. Hamilton writes at Findlaw: “TRFRA is a creature of the Texas legislature. Like Congress’s RFRA, Texas’s, too, has hardly led to a brighter day of religious liberty. Instead, it has authorized judicial intervention in public policy decisions that serve religious triumphalism at the cost of subjugating crucial safety interests – and these are the interests of our most honorable, the firefighters who protect us and our homes, and our most vulnerable, our children.”
