It may have its problems, but the fact that it "imposes upon the courts of the United States the duty of 'striking sensible balances between ... competing ... interests,'” is hardly a legitimate ground for complaint. Judges strike (hopefully) sensible balances between competing interests every time they sit in equity. Federal courts don't sit in equity that often, do they? What the judge meant is that RFRA expands their policy making role radically from what he sees in his other cases. Why is that puzzling?
