“When does your religion legally excuse you from doing part of your job?”

Kim Davis has been released from jail, but the case of the Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk remains a controversial and interesting one.

Thanks to Jann Cahoon Campbell, a wonderful co-worker at FARMS years ago and now a wonderful volunteer with the Interpreter Foundation, for bringing Professor Volokh’s article to my attention.
