On Morning Joe, discussing Hobby Lobby's objection on religious grounds to paying for abortion-causing contraceptives for its employees, Eugene Robinson speaks of segregationists who cited the Bible in support of their views.  Robinson allowes that the Hobby Lobby case "is perhaps a bit different."

Donny Deutsch, after announcing that he was "far from a conservative," nevertheless goes  on to make the explicitly free-market argument that "nobody is forcing anybody to work at Hobby Lobby."
