Florida RFRA and Florida free exercise

[Volokh, Eugene]

        Toca v. State, 2002 WL 2030145 (Fla. App. Sept. 6), holds that:

        1)  The state Free Exercise Clause should be interpreted as
following Smith, not Sherbert.

        2)  The state RFRA may not modify court rules -- here, a rule
that requires people to sign filed court documents, objected to by
someone who treats all such signatures as religiously forbidden oaths --
because of state separation-of-powers principles.
