>The full opinion was a fairly interesting read for anyone who is into that kind of thing. There were some interesting arguments made and resolved by the court. I especially thought that the court's discussion of the plaintiff's alleged substantive Due Process right to "refrain from taking human life" and how they really drilled down to what was at issue was well done.

It was an interesting read. And while I'm not a lawyer, I am betting that this is going to be widely cited for that distinction.

Now, I do wish someone would make the case that there is a general civil rights guarantee about having someone else's religion practiced upon them. But if that's happened, I haven't heard of it.
