Then they should also be able to discriminate in the hiring process.

I think they should be *required* to discriminate in the hiring process, if they can pull that shit on the back end.

Well that's what it equates to, because now we have the rallying cry of the personal responsibility crowd, who live in some kind of fantasy land where people who work at places like Hobby Lobby can somehow be choosy: the free market! Oh, the free market! Don't shop there and don't work there! And if things don't go right for you, TFB - you made lousy choices and should have to fend for yourself. I have no concern for you as a fellow human being and I shouldn't have to help you in any way, that's what charities are for.

Don't be a company that operates in America if the values mean that much to you. Or discriminate during hiring. Simple as that.

Show me where religious organizations have to be not for profit. Hobby Lobby isn't some publicly traded mega corporation. It's an unusually successful family business and should frankly have more freedom to run how they want than they even do after this ruling.

Are you posting drunk? The level of non-sequitur in this response makes no sense at all.

1) I don't have to show you where religious organizations have to be not for profit because Hobby Lobby isn't a religious organization.

2) It's an "unusually successful family business", sure, but it's also a corporation. They incorporated. It's what they chose to do, and they get to live with the laws governing that.

I like Yoshi. He's consistent.

He hates Daddy Government and loves Daddy Cooperation.

Agreed, but only affirmative action allows them to do so.

edit: For James, do you know why you can sue corporations?

(In most cases) You can opt out of dealing with one of those when it goes in the shitter.

You seem to think people on the lower rungs of the economic ladder have more say in where they earn their $7.50 than they actually do.

But that's ok! It doesn't apply to you. Except when you can kick 'em.

Since Hobby Lobby actually pays well above minimum wage, you may be onto something. They're so evil people may choose to stay for the money.

All I know is, they have shitty markers. And now they're pulling some bullshit on secular women's health issues.
