Hobby Lobby is a corporation — a secular, for-profit business - TopicsExpress



          

Hobby Lobby is a corporation — a secular, for-profit business — and it’s the corporate entity to which the mandate applies. To obtain a religious exemption from the mandate, Hobby Lobby’s owners need to imbue the corporation with their personally held religious views. And that requires altering the distinction between shareholder and corporation in fundamental and potentially disruptive ways. Yet now they ask this Court to disregard that separateness in connection with a government regulation applicable solely to the corporate entity. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga want to argue, in effect, that the corporate veil is only a one-way street: its shareholders can get protection from tort or contract liability by standing behind the veil, but the corporation can ask a court to disregard the corporate veil on this occasion.
