Interesting commentary on the rights of conscience for a corporation: Not only is the government arbitrarily selective in how it doles out exemptions, it’s also arbitrary in its argument that business owners can’t exercise religious freedom. During the oral arguments, Chief Justice John Roberts honed in on that point: “Every court of appeal to have looked at the situation has held that corporations can bring racial discrimination claims as corporations. Now, does the government have a position on whether corporations have a race?” The government’s answer through Solicitor General Donald Verrilli was, “Yes. We think those are correct and that this situation is different.” How is it different, though, other than the fact that race is something the Obama administration is willing to respect, but religion is not? The solicitor general wouldn’t say.
