Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act stirred plenty of opposition, including from many corporations doing business in the Hoosier State – Cummins, Apple and the NCAA to name a few.
But National Review’s Charles C.W. Cooke wonders how this is possible, writing, “We were told at the time of Hobby Lobby that companies can’t have consciences. We were told that they can’t have feelings. We were told that they can’t corporately opine on moral or legal questions as might an individual, and in consequence they can’t be worthy of praise or admonition.
What, one wonders, has changed?

I would like a more complete list. The title alludes to one. I want to know who I should boycott.
Here is a better quetions, other than the ability to discriminate what does this law protect?
10:21 Just about anyone. You boycott on this one and you will have to live a hermit existence.
The homosexual community is utterly clueless. The Indiana law was modeled off a federal law, led sponsor who was democrat Charles Schumer and signed into law by clinton. If the goofy SOB's want to boycott then they need to boycott the whole entire US of A.
Even funnier one of the more vocal critics of IN's law is the democrat governor of Connecticut and in typical low information democrat fashion-doesn't matter if you are governor or not any and all democrats are pathetically ignorant- has had the same law in his own state for years.
Every single democrat needs to immediately go to the back of the bus, sit down and shut up and let the real competent leaders (GOP) fix the mess they are solely responsible for creating in this country.
Well no Apple stuff for sure, they sell to every corrupt nation and don't make a peep.No Angie's list either.
The leftist bullies are everywhere these days.
A few years ago I read that Target had to put signs up on certain check out lanes saying NO PORK IN THIS LANE because the muslim cashier refused to touch any pork products. How can they do that but a baker can't refuse to make a cake for a gay couple?
The boycott is nothing but the counter boycott will hurt...It's not right to force people to participate in the homosexual lifestyle against their will.
10:53 It is not the same as the federal law. Arkansas governor sent their's back to be more in line with the federal law and less like Indiana's.
So there is a difference, do your research.
1:34 I've done my research and I've forgotten more on this than you can ever hope to know. There are 2 differences. One is the federal law only recognized individuals and non profit businesses. The Indiana law included private business BECAUSE of the Supreme Court Hobby Lobby decision which gave corporations religious protection.
So there is your difference Number 1.
Secondly it gives the for profit business the right to defend themselves in court which again is a result of the Hobby Lobby decision (which wasn't around when the fed law was passed.)
Those are the differences.
Keep in mind that before you ever try and match wits with me, you better do YOUR research.
WRONG 1:34! Read 2:48's comment a few times. This should set you straight.
The Governor is sending the law back to be clarified and not to be rewritten to be "more in line" with fed law.
The only difference is that IN's law was expanded to include private businesses as opposed to just individuals and non profits. The bottom line is that since the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision, the federal government law has to recognize private for profit businesses as well or face a lawsuit they will ultimately lose.
The reality is.....There is NO difference.
