Updating Police v. City of Newark[edit]

I plan to describe the legal context in which this decision sits. Specifically, I'll lay out the main legal question presented by the case (how many exceptions are acceptable for a law to still qualify as neutral and generally applicable under Employment Division v. Smith), and provide context by outlining why this is still an open question under Supreme Court precedent and how the answer offered by the Ninth Circuit differs from then-Judge Alito's answer.
