I hope they don't mention that they are trolling too soon. Unlike some people.
They should at least organize people of good will to look for a common-sense bipartisan solution: grappling hooks for the 18-foot-walls around abortion clinics.
It's not under Hobby Lobby, as such, but a Mississippi clinic just won its case against an admitting privileges rule on appeal.
So the idea of abortion clinics opting out on Hobby Lobby grounds is too ludicrous to work? I was being earnest in the OP.
3 was actually the case that got me wondering.
RFRA doesn't apply to the states. However despite being a Christian I have to admit that the Satanic Temple is attractive because it appears to be the religion of trolling.

Satan does seem pretty appropriate as the patron saint of trolls.
The way courts have been ruling these days, it seems like it only counts as trolling if you are going up against judges that are appointed by the other side. Conservative arguments that are on as thin a legal ground as the Satanic Temple argument get creedence when put before conservative judges. If you are presenting to a friendly audience, you can get away with the stupidest shit.
What about the Satanic goat sculpture outside some Oklahoma courthouse? That seems like pretty awesome trolling.
Yes, the Satanists seem to be on fire these days, trolling-wise.
I would just suggest that it might not be a good idea for the pro-choice side to ally itself too closely to the Satanic Temple.
6: Not that I think they've actually thought this through, but they could bring a claim under a state RFRA. Hobby Lobby wouldn't be binding, but that's not especially relevant since they wouldn't win under HL in any case.
12: wait, is that statue actually installed at the courthouse? I had heard the proposal, but I assumed that the idea would be killed somehow.
Lucien Greaves told me that the statue will be unveiled in October.
