SCOTUS shields prison guards from religious rights violations

Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 that Rastafarian prisoners can't hold Louisiana guards personally liable for forcibly shaving their dreadlocks, even when it violates their religious rights. This is the one where guards literally threw away a Fifth Circuit opinion saying they couldn't do exactly that, then did it anyway. The Court's response: sorry, qualified immunity covers you. Liberals dissented. Of course they did.
