A Statute Is Worth A Thousand Words: Same Sex Marriage And Rfra, Daniel Korda
A Statute Is Worth A Thousand Words: Same Sex Marriage And Rfra, Daniel Korda
Daniel Korda
This article explores the effectiveness of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act as a defense for individuals with religious objections towards servicing same sex marriages. Specifically, this article (a) evaluates if the Federal Government has a compelling interest to promote equal accommodations for same sex marriages and (b) considers if "private" individuals suing private parties for refusing to service their marriage are in fact "public" plaintiffs, as the enforcement of laws banning marital discrimination have traditionally been enforced by the State.
