The Justice Department will defend against any legal challenge to the new Obama administration mandate to force employers to provide abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization and contraception, even if it goes against their conscience, Attorney General Eric Holder told a House subcommittee Tuesday. The Department of Health and Human Services rule, part of Obamacare, violates the freedom of conscience for Catholics and other religious groups that expressed their objections to the mandate, opponents say. Already there is litigation asserting that the rule violates the First Amendment’s guarantee to free exercise of religion.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;. . . “
What part of the 1st amendment does Holder not understand?
He is a BIG a buffoon and idiot as his boss!!
Mr. Fastandfurious is getting faster and more furious all the time. This has to stop.
This bastard needs to be impeached! If we had a Congress that had a pair he would be. The facism of this regime is just incredible!!
Eric holder received his law degree for the Closed Before Srikeing School of law.
That’s why he has NO clue as to what the First Amendment says.
2012 America:
In which the highest law enforcement official in the land doesn’t possess even a Junior High level understanding of BASIC Constitutional bedrock issues.
There is a great deal of evil at work here.
After reading the article and watching the video, I don’t think the headline is accurate. He doesn’t seem to be saying the First Amendment allows govt to force...but otoh I don’t understand WHAT he said. Homeless schizos on the NY subway have made more sense.
Re: There is a great deal of evil at work here
I could not agree more!!!!
Catholics: 2nd Amendment Allows Us to Protect our Hospitals from Holder's Goons
This administration believes it can do anything it wants without constitutional and/or congressional authorization.
See my tagline.
Nothing would be a surprise from this crowd.
He’s walking thru it. He will stink for days.

Welcome to the Obamanation!
Congress should be recalled and indicted for misprision
of felony for allowing this travesty.
This country has been seized by coup d’etat.
Justice is a joke.
The rule of law is dead, buried in John Jay’s grave,
stabbed in the heart by SCOTUS.
Other denominations are also furious about this. They see the intrusion of the government in the Catholic church and they fear they may be next.
As I said this is a lose lose for Obama.

Something people need to realize: Muslims and Muslim groups are exempt from Obamacare altogether because an imam has claimed that insurance is gambling and that Islam forbids gambling.
People want to make the contraception issue about whether or not the Catholic teaching is mainstream, whether women need contraceptives, etc. But if the government is going to refuse Catholics the right to practice their religion because its views are not “mainstream”, then they should be asking whether Muslim views on insurance and/or gambling are “mainstream” - and require Muslims to participate in the “mainstream” things they despise.
But they won’t. They never will. Obama’s government will never require Muslim organizations to buy swimming suits for their women to wear around town. They will never require Muslims to buy a pork processing plant. Etc.
The real story of this Obamacare mess is seen most clearly by the fact that the government is SIDING WITH ISLAM AND AGAINST CATHOLICISM. If the government was going to remain religiously neutral then they would do the same thing for Muslims as they do for Catholics as they do for atheists as they do for Amish as they do for Hindus, etc... The Muslims objected to insurance, so the government said, “Never mind.” The Catholics objected to contraception and abortion so the government said, “You have to participate in these things anyway.”
This is a sharia-compliant law. It institutes legal preference for Islam and imposes what amounts to a dhimmi tax on non-Muslims. It affirms government protection of MUSLIM religious freedom while trashing NON-MUSLIM religious freedom.
We need to ask the right questions about this. Specifically, we need to be asking why Muslims are exempt on conscientious grounds if Catholics aren’t also exempt on conscientious grounds.

“This bastard needs to be impeached! If we had a Congress that had a pair he would be..............”
Impeached he should be, but wondering if Congress is getting the message loudly and clearly from enough of the American people to know they have the direction, and the support from them to proceed to do exactly that?
Allegedly the Congress represents the will of the people.
Perhaps we all need to send the message en masse to Congress to git ‘er done.
>Other denominations are also furious about this.<
.
Let’s see if that is the case this November — they can prove it with their vote.
You can be assured that the black churches will continue to vote for Bambi in excess of 90% in spite of feeling “offended”.
They all took an oath. If they need to wet their finger to feel the wind, they broke their oath already.
He can’t be impeached. He’s black.
Need I say more?
Join hands, lock arms, march to Congress and SILENTLY give them the message...IMPEACH. We the People are with you and demand that this traitor in the White House be impeached..removed.
This devil in the White House is moving FAST...we must move faster.
Insane. I’d rather have Geoffrey Holder as the attorney general. Imagine him laughing his big, booming laugh every time Congress asks him a question. It would definitely be more fun.
Yes sir. When you hear of that women in Texas who wanted to board a plane but no female TSA was there to search her (even thought they knew her because she flew often from there) & she was begging for even a male TO SEARCH HER - to deprive her of her constitutional rights, you now know that we have lost this nation.
Think it really doesn’t matter what Holder said. They’re forcing religious institutions to do something that is counter to their religion.
Is what Obama doing any different than legislating:
1. That Muslim relgious organizations must give their employees Hannukah as a paid vacation day?
2. That Jewish religious organizations must subsidize Quaran study classes for their employees?
3. That Catholic religious organizations must provide abortions as a part of their employee healthcare plans.
This marxist regime must be stopped. It’s a damn shame that impeachment has thus far escaped Obama, Holder, and others so far.
Let’s see if I have this straight: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”
Really means that we can prohibit the free exercise of religion so long as it is mandated by the government.
While: “ the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Really means that we can infringe on the people’s rght to bear arms, so long as the US government caused gun violence in another soveriegn nation.
The liberal mind is truly a wonderous thing.
The wording of the Constitution is a non-sequitur to leftists.
Anything written in the past inherently has less value than the ad-hoc decision making ability of the smart people alive today.
B.S. This is ridiculous. They will get no support for this.
It’s in contract law that this mess is going to be overturned.
The government mandate of a PRIVATE SECTOR TRANSACTION subjects the issue to contract law.
A contract has a presumption of mutual consent. If one party can claim coercion, then the contract is null and void.
I wonder which nations’ Constitution Mr. Holder is reading?
I wonder if he is getting help with his interpretation from Justice Ginsberg?
Amen that that
Amen to that
Well said!
Lest we forget progressive = facist.
I'd love to see that. That's where we are. That's what the Second Amendment is for. It should have been the first, as it is the most important.
The High Priest of Entitlement has taken the White House. Should we really be surprised when he demands we bow to his religion?
Actually, he's halfrican ......................... FRegards

As an employer, I have an objection to providing health insurance that covers psychiatric care, but by law I’m mandated to do so.
I object simply because if my employees were presented with a menu of choices, they would never choose psychiatric care. I object because psychiatric care is the biggest driver of increases in our premiums. Not to disparage psychiatrists, but it is the nature of psychiatry to never declare the patient “cured”, and the payouts dwarf nearly any other malady paid for by insurance, over time.
