     SYMMETRY FOR SYMMETRY'S SAKE: WHY BOSE DOES
NOT REQUIRE INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF A TRIAL COURT'S
FIRST AMENDMENT-FAVORABLE FINDINGS OF FACT

                            Introduction
      It was Nathaniel Friday's job to secure an eagle for his tribe's
annual religious ritual known as Sun Dance.1 Winslow Friday was his
cousin, and he endeavored to help Nathaniel however he could.2 The
Fridays had not yet acquired an eagle, and Winslow one day noticed a
bald eagle perched on a tree located on his reservation.3 Believing that
this was the eagle that God had provided for his family, Winslow shot
it, and the eagle's tail was used on the offering pole of the 2005 Sun
Dance.4 Winslow never applied for a permit to take the eagle, as
required by federal law.5 The shooting was reported to the Bureau of
Indian Affairs, and Winslow was charged with violating the Eagle Act.6
Winslow moved to dismiss the charges against him on the ground
that-as applied-the Eagle Act violated the Religious Freedom
Restoration Act (RFRA).7 The district court agreed and dismissed the
charges, finding that the government's practical ban on eagle permits
available to those in Winslow's position substantially burdened
