Inazu on Justice Ginsburg in CLS v. Martinez and Remembering Justice Butler
Over at Concurring Opinions, there are a couple of posts (here and here) that should interest MOJ readers. My friend John Inazu has a typically thoughtful piece in the Hastings Law Journal about Justice Ginsburg's religious freedom jurisprudence, focused on a forceful criticism of her opinion for the Court in CLS v. Martinez. The post at Concurring Opinions just prior to that is a short discussion of Justice Pierce Butler (a Catholic, as it happens) and his courageous dissent in Buck v. Bell, which provides a nice opportunity to point readers to the Vanderbilt Law Review article by former-Minnesota prof David Stras (now on the Minnesota Supreme Court) on Justice Butler's unduly neglected legacy.
