A liberal judge, appointed by RINO George W. Bush, says Hobby Lobby must provide abortion-inducing pills to it's employees as part of their healthcare coverage. Must be John Roberts' cousin. No doubt this Constitution-hating ass will be vetted for Kenyan's supreme court.

The government that begins to force religious people to violate their beliefs rapidly loses respect for its own legitimacy.
Judges, in particular, should be very concerned with that happening ~

Am I hearing this ruling correctly? Hearing 1.3 million dollar fine per week if Hobby Lobby does not comply. Let the job destruction begin with zer0care. Two more liberals on the SC and bye bye to more than simply the Constitution. liberals having wet dreams while their dreams too will burn. Un-freakin-believeable. Insanity does not begin to describe liberals. Oh well, more preparation is the order, of these days, for God's People. Will increase my list, and pray more than ever. Looks to be too late for anything else.

let the govt supply it...which is what the zer0bama dirt bags want anyway...and pay the tax the company has to pay if they don’t supply it.
it is lose, lose but at least the company is not supplying the offending abortion pill.

Lock and load. Move to Idaho. Wait out the storm. Might be for the rest of your life, but Idaho is a place where an American can still be an American.

George W. Bush,just another in the long line of Northeast bred or born or educated aristocrats that have taken over the governance of this country.
And just look at what a bang up job they have done over the past 25 years. More if you add in the Congress as “Leaders”.

I would close up shop. I would take this opportunity to make a stand. If this family was smart enough to start one business, they are smart enough to start another. Perhaps a business that is small enough that he doesn’t have to provide free abortions to people.

Thanks for the offer. Am sitting in the Hornet’s Nest near the place of the Revolution’s turning of Cornwallis north. May not be the best place to be for what looks to be coming, though would prefer to be on the front-lines. Other family members will take your advice though. Too old here to run.

They can, and said they will, appeal.

I may be missing something, but legally these cases aren’t even close.
Freedom of religion is not a defense to violating the law. There have been several cases in the Supreme Court that have held that. Otherwise Rastafarians would be allowed to smoke pot, Scientologists wouldn’t have to pay taxes, and Mormons could practice polygamy.
The only case to hold contrary, that I can recall, was the Amish case, and I think most people agree that basically it was bad facts making bad law.

Let’s see: The constitution says that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. That means, say the judges, that the federal government has the right to say that only churches have the right to practice religion.

"Plaintiffs have not cited, and the court has not found, any case concluding that secular, for-profit corporations such as Hobby Lobby and Mardel have a constitutional right to the free exercise of religion," the ruling said. Hint. It's in the constitution.

This decision is consistent with the progressive party line: The Constitution guarantees “freedom of worship.” I.e., you are allowed to go to church. Outside of church, you must obey the State.

When campaign finance reform was overturned by the supreme court they essentially gave freedom of speech rights to corporations. Why not free exercise of religion too? Both are in the 1st amendment.

I do not think that “closing up shop” shows “their convictions and commitment to their Faith.”
First of all, the commitment is to God and Christ (not to one’s “faith.” That commitment produces godly behavior in the power of His indwelling Holy Spirit—and it’s an individual thing.
Secondly, if an owner (eg. the owner of Hobby Lobby) who is a true believer is following the direction of God, he will remain steadfast in God’s ways, that is, take action according to God’s ways, step by step. That could be hanging in there and standing firmly in whatever way God directs, despite adverse consequences.

The text of the Constitution is not relevant. What matters is CASES. That approach to “Constitutional” law was introduced during the Progressive Era.
