This is not an RFRA matter and the constitutional rights of the Greens don't enter into it. The suit is not against them but against a corporate entity called Hobby Lobby. The question is does a corporation have a right to free exercise of religion?

And the answer should be, why not? The court has already ruled that corporations have a Constitutional right to free speech when they ruled that campaign funding restrictions were unconstitutional. If corporations have constitutional protections in one area of the First Amendment then why not in all areas? Why can't a corporation have a religious foundation and be entitled to religious beliefs that reflect those of the owners or the shareholders? I have a hard time understanding how the court can possibly hold that they don't. If they do rule against Hobby Lobby then it's a slippery slope because if the entire First Amendment doesn't apply to corporations then can it selectively apply to people too?

I’m afraid this will be the first step in dismantling the First Amendment. They MUST do that to force the homosexual agenda. If any business has a right to take actions based on the religious beliefs of the owners - even if it is a one person business - then forcing everyone to bow down to homosexuals won’t stand.

My guess is that the homosexual lobby will get the results it wants from the usual suspects - the ones who keep finding a Constitutional right to homosexuality.
