Other than to say I agree with the result, I'll be reserving comment until I've read the opinion.
Fair. I'm just basing on the excerpts that Alito and Kennedy shared from the bench.

Ridiculous. Corporations are legal fiction who cannot hold religious beliefs. You can't baptize a corporation. This is an absurd decision. RFRA clearly does not cover corporations - even closely held - as people.
Can corporations speak? Can corporations sign contracts?
Can a non-profit religious organization (say the YMCA) hold religious beliefs? You can't baptize the YMCA. A Catholic School has no soul. Do they also lack religious freedoms?
So what is the litmus test for what employers may opt out of if they are a closely-held corporation? It's solely limited to contraceptive coverage? The Court lists things that won't qualify under this decision but it's obviously not exhaustive so are we going to litigate this every single time a small business decides to invoke religious freedom?
I think this decision sucks and I think it's going to be overruled in about thirty years when the old white people clinging to their religion leave the court.
But more on this point, I think it depends on your series of questions what these organizations are seeking to do (if that makes sense).
White? What does that have to do with anything?
Is it impossible to discuss anything on its merits anymore?
I'm looking forward to someone figuring out how to call supporters of this decision bigoted.

The SC has legitimized discrimination against women. .
The SC has legitimized discrimination against women. This is another radical decision by the worst SC since before Brown.
I really hope the Clinton Court revisits the insane concept corporations as people.

Not exactly bigoted, but if you're a catholic and oppose birth control, that's all well and good. You can not provide that for your employee. If you're a Jehovah's Witness, you still have to provide blood transfusions, because we said so. You're religious beliefs don't quite matter as much.
What does this mean? If that's not clear, what I'm asking is why did you say this decision will be reversed when the "white" justices are gone? What does being white have anything to do with this decision?
