[EL] another perspective on Hobby Lobby/ How the Hobby Lobby ruling transforms and weakens the American corporation

[Schultz, David A.]

Joe:
Hobby Lobby and Citizens United both have  implications for election law.
Hobby Lobby takes us further down the road toward giving corporations more
rights that real persons have and in the process, sets precedents for
further challenges to restrictions on corporate political activity.  Hobby
Lobby and CU together, as my op-ed point out, show some of the implications
that go with politicizing  corporate behavior and eviscerating the line
between real persons and corporations.  I had hoped that if you read my
op-ed you would have seen that point.
