Supreme Court rejects pharmacists' religious rights appeal

[gratuitous]

15. That's odd

Under Hobby Lobby, a corporation can have sincerely held religious beliefs (even when those beliefs are in conflict with reality), and its employees have to adopt those beliefs as their own. Now the Supreme Court is saying that individuals who hold those very same sincerely held religious beliefs aren't entitled to the same protections?

I think Hobby Lobby was completely wrong, but taking that decision in conjunction with the Court's declining to hear a case to apply the same standard for individuals means there's a glaring contradiction in rulings, one that favors the "rights" of corporations over the rights of individuals. Either the Court is going to reverse itself on Hobby Lobby and that right soon, or the right of a corporation to practice its sincerely held religious belief is elevated the right of an individual to practice his or her sincerely held religious belief.
