I'm fascinated by the following statement in the court's opinion:
We have reservations as to whether his beliefs are
sincerely held, and the district court didn't make any findings
on this issue. The government argues that Zimmerman's
beliefs aren't sincere because of his previous drug use and tattoos,
but it is possible that his beliefs have changed over time.

Ninth Circuit reinstates federal criminal defendant's challenge
under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to having to provide a
blood sample for the federal DNA database: You can access today's
per curiam decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit at this link. Unfortunately for the defendant, there are
many ways to harvest his DNA, and it is unlikely that his religion
proscribes them all.
