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.
