You know what the big takeaway was from this week’s past controversy over the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA)? No, it wasn’t the adage “it’s not what it is, it’s what it looks like.”  Nor was it “be careful what you pray for, you just might get it.”  No, the big lesson from this […]

How’s this for irony?  By the end of the week Indiana lawmakers make actually enshrine in law some legal protections for Hoosiers based on sexual orientation and gender identity.  And the people most responsible for this are the ones who have fought it the hardest. The biggest advocates of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) […]

Since last week, every time I got ready to write about the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) something happened; the weekend rally, the Governor’s appearance on This Week with George Stephanopoulos, the creation of a Cannabis Church in Indiana, you name it.   So when the dust settled this afternoon, I finally figured out what to […]

I don’t know what it is but everytime I go to Chicago to be an attorney something happens here in Indy and the words “Just” and “In” are involved.
