A single cite would go a long way, as much as I regret not being able to take your word on it.

Interstate commerce powers cannot be used to violate the Cons. For example. Congress cannot pass a law saying African Americans can't drive tractors over state lines. That would violate Equal Protection and it would be

I don't think you know what the word "fiction" means. Pro tip: It doesn't mean "fake" in this sense. Everyone knows that corporations are a legal fiction, that has exactly zero bearing on whether or not they have rights.

Other words that you seem to be confused about:
1. Person v. citizen
2. Jurisprudence v. a bare

"the words "person" and "whoever" include corporations, companies, associations, firms, partnerships, societies, and joint stock companies, as well as individuals; " 1 U.S.C. 1

Marshal explains in Darthmouth v, Woodward 17 U.S. 518, 583 that an aggregate corporation has a vested franchise in the rights of its

No. The case is FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION ET AL. v.



Except a corporation is NOT a person and, anger over Citizens United aside, not even the USSC says that it is.

A corporation is a person, not a citizen. It has all the rights of a person, which include the first amendment, but not those of a citizen of the several states. Pembina Consolidated Silver Mining Co. v. Pennsylvania - 125 U.S. 181 (1888)

Its hard to see why free speech is protected, while religion is not.

They can. See the draft, prohibition, peyote, and social security.

Hobby Lobby has Constitutional protection from being told by the government to violate the law. The person harmed by the choice not to provide (the person with standing) is either: the government (who has no Constitutional protections) or the employee (who has, in general Constitutional protection).

So lets take the

I get what you are saying, but it is literally a requirement that you publicly announce name changes so that people know that there is a continuation in person hood. It doesn't seem untoward, in the absence of specific threats not to reveal the old name, especially if the new name (and face) are shown.

Why? A corporation, no matter how small and esoteric, doesn't need to prove political speech is central to its business to enjoy free speech, and that's the same amendment.


Constitutional rights, if they exist, exist regardless of how high a priority someone puts on them. Citizen's United pretty much explains that on each page. First Amendment applies if you are a natural person, a union, a partnership, or an oven maker. It doesn't atrophy if your busy doing something else.

No, they are concerned that Congress will pass a law that will require them to commit an action that will put their immortal soul in jeopardy of permanent damnation due to the action of the government. Strangely, but unarguably, that is a fear that has clear, explicit, bargained-for constitutional protection. There

We can spell check all day, but substantively, I have no idea or good faith guess what (s)he meant by " If you are not qualified to provide federally-mandated health benefits to your employees?"

In another one of the posts, (s)he -quite liberally- scattered question marks. It made it hard to understand what

Also, employers have no Constitutional requirement to allow freedom of religion. First Amendment only applies to state actors.

Then why did we obligate your boss to pay for it?

My assumptions are as follows:

1. Just because having health insurance might be good thing, does not mean that this administration should be given extra leeway in violating individual civil rights because this administration has quite honestly been horrible on that front.

2. Even if we are ok with this administration

This is not an establishment case, its a free exercise case.

Also, I hate to be a grammar Nazi, but unless you start using full sentences, I honestly can't reply.

The government is not forcing Hobby Lobby employees not to use condoms, Hobby Lobby (arguably) is. Hobby Lobby is not the government, therefore they can't

I don't know. It wasn't briefed because Health and Human Services stipulated to the fact that Hobby Lobby had a sincere belief*. I am also not Christian, so I don't know. However, my suspicion that is has to do with God smiting people for using the withdrawal method in the early episodes (back before all the Jewish

I am not going to copy-paste, because that's a waste of your time, but I would be careful conflating "corporation" and "business" as they are very different things.

Also, Citizen United was clear that jurdical persons have many of the same rights as natural persons, because to do so otherwise would require people to
