Me on Facebook "The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the law at issue in the case, has never been applied to for-profit entities. The Court had to decide whether corporations even have religious exercise rights – making the beliefs of the employer synonymous with the entire company – and weigh that question against the potential harms to the employees." Harms to the employees? You're not forced to get contraception if your plan covers it. Also: "If ”closely held” corporations are people with their own religious beliefs, does this mean these for-profit businesses can also claim religious exemptions in other areas? In other words, if you work for a ”closely held” corporation and your employer has moral objections to blood transfusions and/or vaccinations, are they out, too? According to Amy Howe’s analysis, the answer is no – this is a narrower ruling that applies only to the contraceptive mandate." So....corporations are people...but only when it comes to certain parts of the law, because I certainly don't see them getting hauled around for their tax loopholes.

Pretty much, although luckily this ruling only applies to the ACA Contraceptive mandate, not a blanket "Religious reasons set you free".

It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms. But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit. game - gun = gay game + gun = -gay game + gun + Arem = ??? Founder of #TeamArem

It all seems nice and all, but the percentage of workers that are in fact full-time is absent, which means that it could be a very low number which would make the point moot.
