How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • noting that the Supreme Court “seems doubtful that failure to advance the general welfare could ever provide adequate grounds for invalidating a federal statute”
  • finding plaintiff’s 18 RLUIPA claim for injunctive relief “falls squarely within the Ex Parte Young exception to 19 sovereign immunity and does not violate the Eleventh Amendment”
  • recipients of federal funding must comply with Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act
  • “Congress is not required to list every factual instance in which a state will fail to comply with a condition. Such specificity would prove too onerous, and perhaps, impossible.”
  • upholding the constitutionality of RLUIPA
