Kathleen Parker: Hobby Lobby case creates unexpected allies in Dershowitz and Starr

Kathleen Parker: Hobby Lobby case creates unexpected allies in Dershowitz and Starr: "The core of the argument is that Green’s business is protected by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), passed by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993. The RFRA basically requires that the government prove “compelling interest” when someone’s religious rights are “substantially burdened” by what the state wishes to do. Although individuals and religious groups are clearly covered by the RFRA, it isn’t clear whether the act’s protections also extend to companies."
