That’s wrong.  Communion wine was the animating question.  Form can’t trump substance.

I think he is referring to the vote on the Reid Amendment, to exclude prisons from RFRA.  That went down decisively but far from unanimously; 2:1 is a reasonable estimate.  There might have been some discussion of communion wine; supporters of RFRA were pointing to an unreported Colorado case where a guy on work release was let out to attend church but forbidden to take communion.  But I am as certain as it is possible to be 12 years after an event that there was no vote on communion wine.

I'm always learning something new.  The Senate voted separately on communion wine in the context of debating RFRA?  I thought I had read it all, but maybe not.

If there is any one dietary demand that cannot be refused, communion wine is it.  The issue came up in the Senate debates on RFRA and by a thumping two-to-one vote, the Senate agreed with me.  If one looks at the question in historical context, the case against denying communion wine is overwhelming.
