After the Supreme's prior decision upholding an ordinance prohibiting the use of peyote, Congress passed legilslation exempting for prosecution Native Americans use of peyote for religious purposes. A brief reading of the new matter seems to show the Supreme's used Congress' own legislation to find an "exception" to the use of this drug for religious purposes. The decision was not based upon the Constitutional protections of the Establishment Clause as was the prior peyote case. It sort of seems as if the Supremes are telling Congress to watch what they pass in reponse to their decisions.

It will be interesting to see how far the Supremes will let the drug for religous purposes slide under Congress' legislation.
