Unlikely duo at Willard Hotel backs Hobby Lobby case
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz and Baylor University President Ken Starr debated at the Willard Hotel on the eve of Supreme Court oral arguments. They agreed separation of church and state is good for religion and that corporations may be treated as people for the purposes of religious exemptions under RFRA in the Hobby Lobby case. They framed the dispute as a test of constitutional exemptions, not a debate on birth control. The Supreme Court is expected to rule in June.
