Conscience Clauses

Last night over dinner — two slices of pizza at an outdoor table on Miami Beach waiting for my play reading (it wasn’t as fun as it sounds thanks to idling tour buses and loud traffic) — Bob asked me how I thought the Supreme Court would rule on the Hobby Lobby case.  I said I thought it would narrowly rule against the corporations, but who knows.

Apropos of that, here’s a cartoon via Digby that predicts what could implausibly happen if the Court rules that Hobby Lobby can dictate religious practices to its employees.

2 barks and woofs on “Conscience Clauses

  1. Everything I’ve read by court watchers says the decision is really too close to call. My gut feeling is it’ll favor corporations. Sure as hell hope not!

  2. The cartoon is spot on. (I’ve had thoughts of… diabetes? your fault. Lung cancer? Your fault. HIV? Your fault. Trauma? Your fault. And so on.)

    I agree with Julie.
