You can say whatever you want, but that is the reason that you can sue them, and that is the reason the law has now been interpreted to say they can have religious views.

See what Yoshi did there?

Wasted everyone's time with a false analogy and retarded non-logic?

I never said corporations have no rights. They do, and those rights can be violated. That doesn't make them people.

Again, this is retarded-stupid.

And apparently those rights include having religious beliefs, so what was your point again?

If you're for-profit, you're beholden to secular rules. That's how it's been since the word "go".

This flips that in a million subtle ways that haven't hit yet.

That is problematic.

I still want someone to produce where that is written. Freedom of religion was a key foundational principle not exclusion of religion.

I guess SCOTUS should give Bill Clinton and the Democratic Congress credit for facilitating their decision.
