  1. Arar v. Ashcroft et al., WL 346439 (E.D. N.Y. 2006). The case
    was also dismissed because Arar, a Canadian citizen, did
    not have standing to sue the U.S. government. Supporters
    of this decision (and the practice more generally) say that it
    is an essential part of the War on Terror and that the enemy
    combatants who are arrested have no legal rights. Opponents
    say that the practice violates international law and our own
    standards of decency; furthermore, torture almost never
    produces useful information because people will say anything
    to get the torture to stop.

  2. State v. Massey et al., 51 S.E.2d 179 (N.C. 1949). The case was
    appealed to the Supreme Court, but the Court declined to hear
    the case, which means that the state decision stands (Bunn v.
    North Carolina, 336 U.S. 942 [1949]).

    (accessed 1/24/14).

  3. Pennsylvania v. Miller, Court of Common Pleas, WL 31426193
    (Penn. 2002). However, supreme courts in Minnesota,
    Wisconsin, and several other states have decided that requiring
    the Amish to use orange SMV triangles violates their free
    exercise of religion.

  4. Wisconsin v. Yoder, 403 U.S. 205 (1972).

    1787 , rev. ed. (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1937),
    pp. 587–88, 617–18.

  5. The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, ed. J. Boyd (Princeton,
    NJ: Princeton University Press, 1958), pp. 557–83, cited in
    Lester S. Jayson, ed., The Constitution of the United States of
    America: Analysis and Interpretation (Washington, DC: U.S.
    Government Printing Office, 1973), p. 900.

    Constitutional Convention Debates (New York: Signet Classic,
    Penguin Putnam, 2003), p. 247.
    1 7. The two that were not ratified by the states were a complicated
    amendment on congressional apportionment and the pay raise
    amendment.

  6. Annals of Congress 755 (August 17, 1789), cited in Lester S. Jayson,
    ed., The Constitution of the United States of America (Washington,
    DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1973), p. 898.
    1 9. There is an intense scholarly debate on whether the authors
    of the Fourteenth Amendment intended for it to apply the Bill
    of Rights to the states. The strongest argument against this
    position is Raoul Berger’s The Fourteenth Amendment and the
    Bill of Rights (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1989),
    and a good book in support is Akhil Reed Amar’s The Bill of
    Rights (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1998).

  7. Barron v. Baltimore 32 U.S. 243 (1833), 250. The 1873 case was
    Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873). The Supreme Court
    also declined to apply the Bill of Rights to the states in the Civil
    Rights Cases, 109 U.S. 3 (1883), in which the Court ruled that the
    Fourteenth Amendment did not give Congress the power to
    regulate the conduct of private business (thus the Civil Rights
    Act of 1875 was unconstitutional and private businesses could
    discriminate on the basis of race).

  8. Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad v. Chicago, 166 U.S.
    226 (1897), Twining v. New Jersey, 211 U.S. 78, 98 (1908).

    Supreme Court slip. op. 09-987 and 09-991 (2011).

  9. Mitchell v. Helms, 530 U.S. 793 (2000).

  10. Zobrest v. Catalina School District, 509 U.S. 1 (1993). A similar
    decision in 1997 allowed a public school teacher to teach in a
    special program in a parochial school, Agostini v. Felton, 521 U.S.
    203 (1997).
    3 6. We will not cite all the cases here. See Abraham and Perry,
    Freedom and the Court, Chapter 6, for a summary of cases on
    this topic, especially Tables 6.1 and 6.2.
    3 7. Employment Division, Department of Human Resources of
    Oregon v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990), 878–80. This case is often
    erroneously reported as having banned the religious use of
    peyote. In fact, the Court said: “Although it is constitutionally
    permissible to exempt sacramental peyote use from the
    operation of drug laws, it is not constitutionally required.”

  11. City of Boerne v. Flores, 521 U.S. 527 (1997); Cutter v. Wilkinson,
    No. 03-9877 (2005); Gonzales v. O Centro Espirita Beneficente
    Uniao do Vegetal (UDV) et al., 546 U.S. 418 (2006). The Sherbert
    test requires that whenever the government limits religious
    expression it must prove a compelling interest that is narrowly
    tailored to achieve that interest if a person is substantially
    burdened by the law (Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398 [1963]).

  12. Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, 573 U.S. (2014).
    40. Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Comer, 582 U.S.
    (2017). This case would appear to be an establishment
    clause case (can the state provide direct funds to a church?), but
    it was decided on free exercise grounds. This opens the door to
    a broader range of protections for religious activity. See Garrett
    Epps, “A Major Church-State Ruling That Shouldn’t Have
    Happened,” The Atlantic, June 27, 2017, http://www.theatlantic.com/
    politics/archive/2017/06/a-major-church-state-case-that-
    shouldnt-have-happened/531789 (accessed 10/18/17).
