A RLUIPA Conundrum

Every once in a while, we need to step back and smile at the impact of our legal rules. A posting by Nate Oman last week at the blog Concurring Opnions gives us a chance to do this. He suggests this for the individual who wants to use sacramental peyote: get arrested-- maybe for using peyote. RLUIPA may well give free exercise rights to the inmate that he doesn't have outside. The full posting is worth a read. [Thanks to SCOTUSblog for the lead.]
