Contrary to what I said near the end of class today, please try to prepare through assignment 3 (i.e. both 2 & 3) for tomorrow. In other words, don't stop at the Smith decision but read the cases in handout 5 & 6 as well. I think I corrected myself before most of you had left class today, but one or two of you may have missed it. Again, you should read through these assignments for tomorrow (Wednesday):
I. Free Exercise Clause
1. Babylon Five: Believers episode (in class viewing); Linder Introduction (Link); Reynolds case (Link)
2. Casebook p. 560-567; Goldman case (Link); Lyng case (Link)
3. Casebook p. 567-578; Handout 5; Handout 6 (Lukumi and Axson-Flynn);my "Individualized Exemptions and Hogwarts" article (reprint provided)
I am trying not to hit you with too much reading in any one day, but I also want to make sure that you have read enough to get us through a 3-hour class. Sorry for correcting myself at the last moment.
The web log for Prof. Duncan's Constitutional Law Classes at Nebraska Law-- "[U]nder our Constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race. That concept is alien to the Constitution's focus upon the individual. In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American. " -----Justice Antonin Scalia If you allow the government to take your liberty during times of crisis, it will create a crisis whenever it wishes to take your liberty.
