Cemetery Speech & Free Exercise

[Douglas Laycock]

  There is also a Kansas case about a farm family who had buried
their child on their land, and created a sort of shrine; the land was
taken for a highway expansion.  This was an early RFRA case, decided
on no burden grounds I think, in the D. Kan. or the 10th Circuit.

  I briefed and argued the appeals in /Warner v. Boca Raton/; neither
side cited much law on cemeteries.  The opinion of the Florida Supreme
Court, ripping much of the heart out of Florida RFRA, is at 887 So.2d
1023.

  Quoting AAsch at aol.com:

(11th
