#1: The 10th Circuit's ruling is grounded in the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which protects individuals from governmental interference in the exercise of religion.
#2: Under the RFRA, the government must show that it has a "compelling governmental interest" in restricting the religious practice and that the interest is fulfilled in the "least restrictive" way. ==============
This government is ALL about "freedom of religion" for Baptists - freedom to bash gays, freedom to oppress people their priests feel like oppressing, freedom to violate federal law and have the law rewritten to match them - but as soon as you're NOT a Baptist, your freedom of religion takes second palce to federal law.
But, you're right, the quotation marks don't belong there.
