This is not the place to get into the depths of the RFRA legislative history, but Professor Johnson's claim perpetuates one of the myths surrounding RFRA. In truth, the House of Representatives enacted RFRA under its “unanimous consent” rule, which means few members were required to be present and no roll call taken.
