Did the Second Circuit err in finding that petitioner lacked standing to challenge a criminal statute under the threat of prosecution doctrine
QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Questions Presented are: (1) Did the Second Circuit err in finding that petitioner lacked standing to challenge a criminal statute under the threat of prosecution doctrine, where petitioner openly expressed his intention to violate, for religious purposes, a criminal statute which the government has openly declared its intent to enforce. (2) How are courts to determine whether a particular ; religious belief/practice qualifies for protection under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and by extension, the First Amendment—an issue dealt with differently by different circuits.
