The Hobby Lobby case gives the Supreme Court a chance to step back from its long march toward making corporations equal to human beings. If it doesn't do that, it will take another step toward what Dr. Frankenstein was doing: trying to create a living being, and in the process creating a monster. The U.S. Supreme Court has been expanding the "Constitutional rights" of corporations since its 1819 decision that protected the corporation of Dartmouth College against the state of New Hampshire. In that case, the court described a corporation as an "immortal being." In 1886, the court allowed the Southern Pacific Railroad to claim "equal protection of the law" to challenge the California county of Santa Clara. There, the court described the corporation as a "metaphysical being" equal to a "man, woman, and child" and protected by "our blessed government."

""One of the numerous unique features of the Bosnian constitutional system is the (hyper)active role of the courts in the consideration of the concept of "tradition", as one of the vital national interests of the so-called constituent peoples. In this short text, written for the collection of essays on the topic of "Tradition", we show that the courts' attempt at the reconciliation of the ethnocratic and civic elements of the constitution that they are interpreting often remains unsuccessful. We also notice the phenomenon in political confrontation with court decisions on this issue, which can be designated as "discontinuation of tradition", which in Bosnia and Herzegovina necessarily precedes the manufacture of tradition.

Jedna od brojnih specifičnosti bosanskohercegovačkog ustavno-pravnog sistema jeste (hiper)aktivna uloga sudova u razmatranju koncepta "tradicije" kao jednog od vitalnih nacionalnih interesa tzv. konstitutivnih naroda. U ovom kratkom tekstu, pisanom za zbornik radova na temu "Tradicija", pokazujemo da nastojanje sudova da na smislen način pomire etnokratske i građanske elemente ustava koje tumače često ostaje pravno nepodobno. Primjećujemo i fenomen u političkom suočavanju sa sudskim odlukama po ovom pitanju, kojeg smo označiti kao "diskontinuitet tradicije", a koji u BiH neminovno prethodi svakom izmiơljanju tradicije.

"No weakening, but rather an expansion, of statehood can be observed in the contemporary world. This does not, on the other hand, imply that extensive forms of constitutional ordering do not exist outside the realm of states. Instead, the evolution of world society has been characterized by a protracted dual movement where the expansion and densification of statehood and autonomous forms of transnational ordering gradually emerged in a mutually constitutive fashion. One implication of this is that neither the concept of the state nor the concept of nonstate transnational entities is adequately capable of delineating the object of constitutional analysis. Instead, the concept of normative orders has been introduced as an overarching category capable of identifying the contexts within which constitutional ordering emerges.
Subsequently, a distinction between the internal and external dimensions of the law of normative orders has been introduced, specifying them as respectively oriented towards establishing internal condensation of a given normative order and external compatibility between different normative orders. With this background, a framework for the analysis of constitutional frameworks of normative orders is developed. The central element is a distinction among three dimensions: First, a constitution implies a coupling between a constitutional object, in the form of a hierarchical organization of a given normative order capable of reproducing an autonomous source of authority, and a concordant legal framework. Second, constitutionalization implies a coupling between an internal reconstruction of an external constitutional subject within the constitutional object, and the register of legal rights, establishing a framework for exchanges between the constitutional object and the wider world as represented by the constitutional subject. Third, constitutionalism denotes the institutionalization of a double function, in the form of a principle-based and legally fortified striving toward universal inclusion, providing a sense of direction in time through an articulated form of constitutional consciousness.
The insights developed are briefly illustrated by the case of the global Fairtrade Certification System.

"To state that the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the court) has become a victim of its own success is an oft-repeated mantra. Yet to ring the death knell for what is undoubtedly the most successful international human rights project is premature. While the court is facing an unsustainable caseload under its current formation, the solution is not to abandon the court
altogether, but to find a structure that facilitates the  accommodation of this burdensome caseload.
While Protocol 14—permitting a single judge to rule on  admissibility—has eased the court backlog somewhat,1 this impact has only been on cases which are "clearly inadmissible". Reform of the court is still needed if it is to adequately deal with the huge numbers of cases that meet the requirement of admissibility, and the backlog of such cases that have yet to be adjudicated upon.2 In this article, we argue that although the large backlog of cases currently stifling the ECtHR is a
direct result of the individual complaints procedure, nevertheless, the importance of this procedure as the "crown jewel"3 in the ECHR system cannot be foregone. Our proposed model for restructuring the ECtHR preserves such right of individual petition while facilitating the expedition of constitutionalist complaints. We argue that Chambers of the ECtHR should focus on adjudicatory cases and their procedure should be simplified, whereas the Grand Chamber should be reserved for pronouncing
upon constitutionalist issues only. While Draft Protocols 15 and 16 contain provisions that can emphasise the separation between the adjudicatory function of the Chambers and constitutionalist function of the Grand Chamber, we argue that further reforms may be needed and these reforms
should be based on the idea of functional separation between the Grand Chamber and other court’s formations."
