The Attack on Hobby Lobby Is Incoherent and Unjust
• https://fee.org, Jeffrey A. TuckerAs punishment, and concluding an investigation that has been going on for six years, the US government has extracted from the company a fine of $3 million, and the company is sending to the government property it bought fair and square.
What horrible things did the company do? It purchased from sketchy sources in the Middle East thousands of ancient artifacts, including extremely rare cuneiform tablets.
