Prof. David Skeel analyzes impact of Hobby Lobby Ruling on campaign finance cases in op-ed for The Washington Post

July 01, 2014

Prof. Skeel analyzes the possible impact of the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Hobby Lobby case, such as the court’s future campaign finance cases.

“Justice Ginsburg’s impassioned dissent in the Hobby Lobby case warns about the ‘startling breadth’ of the court’s holding that some for-profit corporations have religious freedom rights. She, like Sandra Fluke, is worried about a wave of religious freedom claims by other corporations. But another possible outcome of the case may be more to her liking: Hobby Lobby could eventually force the court to take a more sympathetic stance toward campaign finance regulation.”
