The Supreme Court agreed Monday to consider a Bush administration plea to keep members of a New Mexico church from using a hallucinogenic tea in their ceremonies. The administration wants the high court to overturn a November 2004 en banc ruling by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The en banc decision affirmed an earlier injunction that prohibited the government from barring importation and use of the tea, which contains a substance barred under the federal Controlled Substances Act.
