Supreme Court not likely to make individual FBI agents pay for allegedly violating Religious Freedom Restoration Act

[Stan]

On October 6, 2020, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case on the issue of whether individual FBI agents can be held financially liable if they are found to have violated the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.  The underlying case involves Muslim-Americans who alleged that individual FBI agents put them on the "no fly" list after they refused to act as informants against fellow Muslims in terrorism-related investigations.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church has applied for a Writ of Certiorari in this case.  Its position may be found in the following 26 page document:

NOTE:   I agree with Stan's statement that the Supreme court is not likely to rule that individual FBI Agents should be held financially liable.

I have not had the time to fully digest the above 26 page legal document.  However,  I am tending to think that the Court should  not hold those FBI Agents financially liable.
