How is a First Amendment right "against the law?" Even SCOTUS ruled that the ACA law couldn't require Hobby Lobby to provide abortifacients to its employees and whomever was covered by their employees' insurance policies because doing so violated the owners' right to exercise their religion.
Who does Hobby Lobby employ? The public.
This would be the Hobby Lobby where the owner is being investigated for possessing stolen artifacts, correct?
The same Hobby Lobby that is fighting a class action suit for misleading customers?
I don't understand why the inauguration is being treated like a Las Vegas show anyway. It seems undignified. The Rockettes are an outdated throwback act anyway, so who cares?
Well, when you want to take the nation back to how it used to be, an outdated throwback act seems like just the ticket.
Perhaps we'll be treated to an Amos and Andy performance.
They are probably afraid for their lives or afraid of being "black balled" in the entertainment industry if they perform. Don't think liberals in the entertainment industry won't take note who performs.

The same Hobby Lobby owners that SCOTUS ruled have First Amendment rights, and therefore can ignore the ACA requirement and don't have to provide insurance coverage for abortifacients to their employees, otherwise known as members of the public.
Whether they've been accused of jaywalking, etc., or not is irrelevant. It doesn't invalidate their Constitutional rights.
The email reads: "We have received an email from a Rockette expressing concern about getting "involved in a dangerous political climate"climate" but I must remind you that you are all employees, and as a company, Mr. Dolan obviously wants the Rockettes to be represented at our country's Presidential inauguration, as they were in 2001 & 2005. Any talk of boycotting this event is invalid, I'm afraid."
"We have been made aware of what is going on Facebook and other social media, however, this does not change anything unless Radio City has a change of heart. The ranting of the public is just that, ranting. Everyone has a right to an opinion, but this does not change your employment status for those who are full time."
"This has nothing to do with anyone's political leanings (including AGVA's), it has to do with your best performance for your employer, period. I will reiterate that if Hillary Clinton was the President-elect, nothing would be different, and there would probably be those who would not want to be involved because of her. It is a job, and all of you should consider it an honor, no matter who is being sworn in. The election is over and this country will not survive if it remains divided."
Hours after thousands took to social media on Friday to condemn the decision to force dancers of the Rockettes to perform at Trump's inauguration, both the Rockettes’ union and management issued new statements saying all dancers would be able to choose to perform or not.
If I was Rockette management, I would consider carefully renewing contracts for dancers who wanted to dictate which jobs they would perform. Employees who don't do their job wouldn't be my first choice for employees.

From what I've read, a union rep sent an email saying they had to perform.
Some hours later, their employer sent out a notice saying that they had a choice.
Not sure why this is so confusing.
