All Too Common Law

It's hard to figure out where to begin when it comes to the Hobby Lobby decision. I guess the first thing to say is that this is a bad decision. In pretty much every way. It's internally contradictory. It lays down legal conclusions without providing any support for them. It undermines the basic principles of American corporate law. It gives preferential treatment to certain religious beliefs over other religious beliefs. And, depending on how literally you want to interpret it, solidifies the remedies created by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act so that they're only available to those who practice a religion.
