Isn't Walgreens a publicly traded store? If so, they have more than a 'right' to follow the law. Their first obligation is to their owners, and in accordance with that, they have an obligation to follow the law.

Consumers have every right to take their business elsewhere. Even to organize a boycott. I just think it's stupid (and wrong) to boycott the weak party (Walgreens) instead of those who could change things.

Okay,one more time. What they are doiong is violating the state's statutes in favor of a contradictory executive order. The order is illegal on the face, but as you probably know, being a conservative, conservatives never get injunctions, liberals usually do. Just because Blago makes an illegal document doesn't mean anybody should follow it.
