Dude. Wake up. You want state RFRA’s to emulate federal law. To do that they must provide protections for individuals separate from the state and businesses via Hobby Lobby. Why u ask? Because that is how the federal RFRA has been interpreted.
yes, thanks. I’ll have to think about that. I appreciate the clarification. No pun intended.
Very good explanatory process graphic on RFRA in this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3274662/posts?page=1
“I think the governor’s point about following the federal act is a good one. I like consistency.”
I don’t like a one-size-fits-all federal solution to every problem. In a nation where states’ rights has any meaning, there is “inconsistency” by design.
I generally concur with your logic and would just point out that consistency enhances legal arguments.
