Whether the lower court's ruling violates the Supreme Court's precedents by improperly substituting its own view that carrying currency bearing a religious motto does not violate Petitioner's religion because Petitioner can hide the money in his pocket
QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA), 42 U.S.C. § 2000bb et. seq.,. provides that the government “shall not substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion” unless that burden is the least restrictive means to further a compelling governmental interest. 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000bb-1(a) and (b). The questions presented are: 1. Whether the lower court’s ruling violates the Supreme Court’s precedents by improperly substituting its own view that carrying currency bearing a religious ; motto does not violate Petitioner’s religion because Petitioner can hide the money in his pocket. 2. Whether RFRA allows the Government to force an individual to communicate and carry a religious message in violation of his sincerely held religious beliefs when the Government has not proven that this compulsion is the least restrictive means.
