The Supreme Court’s *Hobby Lobby* decision is widely seen by conservatives as a great victory, and by liberals as a travesty. Without rejecting the conventional wisdom altogether, Professor Skeel will explore the possibility that the reasoning of the majority opinion in *Hobby Lobby* may pack some surprises for the future. Even as it expands the scope of religious freedom, the Court’s decision invites a rethinking of its corporate finance jurisprudence (exemplified in the *Citizens United* case) and a more nuanced approach to corporate personhood.
