I say again as I said at the beginning ... Hobby Lobby is one of the worst SCOTUS decisions in history and WILL turn against us over the years. Now it won’t be this case because of the abortion component. But it is coming.
There are now going to be LEGIONS of cases based on “religious freedom”. Some will be frivolous but most will not. And if SCOTUS is not consistent in the application of this ridiculous ruling, it will have a destabilizing effect on society especially against Christians.
I don’t say any of this lightly but with 25 years of legal practice with an overwhelming amount of my arguments centering on Constitutional, Bill of Rights issues. I have even had occasion to argue before SCOTUS and other State and Federal Courts. Many thought this was a win for Religion. It was a devastating loss.
Hobby Lobby is the rallying cry and law ... against Christianity. Give it time. It is a time bomb that WILL go off in our faces. And even if you think SCOTUS will rush to our protection, this SCOTUS will not stay intact over the years, but the law will remain. The best we can hope for is that at some point down the road a more reasoned SCOTUS will overturn the decision.
Nonsense, see my previous. Hobby Lobby isn't even a constitutional case, it's a procedural one that says that the ACA does not override the RFRA.
Well good, now start facing up to the fact that you get a no-win situation. Get use to the fact that winning a fight is not like a cartoon where roadrunner has won against wily coyote in minutes. If something pisses the left off, so be it. The left is a no-win. How do you feel about the fact that the Roman Empire ran a centuries-long persecution campaign against Christianity. You could live your entire life with no end in sight to the Romans wanting you dead. As for Hobby Lobby, they expressed and appealed or what they felt was right. Their case was worth the tyrannical wrath of the left.
