"Reply to McConnell on Hobby Lobby and the Establishment Clause"

It is surprising that Professor McConnell does not address any of these authorities in his post.

By now, it is not, though I respect that reply here is being polite, perhaps to further a point. As noted there, the op-ed basically is trying to push the law, while claiming to be conservative (with a certain holier than thou tone about "those" people concerned about non-legal issues). This is how law develops often, so it's a familiar tactic, but let's be aware of it.
