So when someone from HL inevitably is jailed over this, will you admit that you and your outlook are wrong?

I'm not OP, but I do share OPs views the about disparity in laws themselves for white-collar crimes on the order of $3M and drug possession of $ values 100,000 less.

If there is a criminal prosecution, that would certainly affect my outlook for the better, and I would gladly admit that I was wrong to the degree that I was! I really hope that you're correct on the "inevitably," but I'm also extremely doubtful.

That said, I'm not sure that we have the full picture here. With somebody as political as Hobby Lobby's management, and as politically viewed as they are, there's probably an entirely different side to the story that never makes it out.

"inevitably"? Is there a criminal case pending? I can't find any reference to one.

And my outlook is not wrong. There are two justice systems in America - one for the fairly-to-very wealthy and one for everyone else. I used to be a law clerk to a federal judge (no longer a lawyer). My outlook is unfortunately accurate.
