A Starch Reality
The Supreme Court finally decided that Jack Phillips could return to his bakery in Colorado, for all practical purposes a winner, after a six-year legal battle. His own sentiments after receiving the good news were clear: ‘[t]he justices affirmed that I don't have to violate my beliefs to work as a cake artist.’1 The American Civil Liberties Union likewise sent their readers good vibrations, explaining that the Supreme Court’s decision rested ‘on…
A Starch Reality
‘Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it.’1 The US Supreme Court is set to decide a case that involves a bakery’s refusal to comply with an order from a same-sex couple to design a cake for their wedding reception.

Knight v Thompson , Marginal Risk, and the Uncertainty of RLUIPA in the Eleventh Circuit
Since the United States Supreme Court decided the case of Holt v Hobbs in 2015, lower courts have continued to struggle to find a unified sense of application regarding claims brought under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA). In the United States, inmates may file RLUIPA claims if prison officials refuse to accommodate their religious needs. In examining these claims, a trend has emerged where federal courts have ta…
