With all due respect, Doug, the degree to which the Court requires deference in Cutter pushes RLUIPA a far distance from strict scrutiny as it is used in constitutional law, as the list has discussed.  The result is intermediate scrutiny.
 
 The phrase "compelling interest" generally means one thing for the Court when it crafts standards of constitutional review, but as a matter of statutory construction with RLUIPA, it means something quite different.  Mapping RLUIPA onto Turner is not a stretch at all -- despite the differences if both were constitutional standards of review.

"the Turner/RLUIPA standard"!  George Orwell would be impressed.
