POS 384 CIVIL LIBERTIES
In class today, Monday 2/4,we reviewed Scalia's opinion in Smith, and then went through O'Connor's criticism of that opinion. We made a chart of winning and losing free exercise claims, and looked at how both Scalia and O'Connor categorized them. We will continue on Wednesday with how O'Connor ended up concurring, rather than dissenting, in Smith, and also look at the views of the dissenting Justices. The additional reading assignment for Wednesday 2/6 is to read pp.191-196 of the text, the Hosanna-Tabor case, with particular emphasis on the discussion about Smith on p. 194.
