that may happen under Obama II — but not making Moslems pay for pork meals in schools.....

What if the Feds order you, the owner of a private business that takes no government money, to pay for something that violates your beliefs, or pay them an exorbitant fine if you refuse?

You mean like income tax? : )

btw, I wasn't supporting what fedgov does, I was just describing it - sarcastically.

Sorry if that didn't come across.

We now have a State Religion and the Federal courts decide what is and isn't acceptable in the eyes of God.

Given his belief that the head of the government should be the head of church in each nation, Luther would be extremely happy with this decision. I hope all of those who aren't Catholic are equally as proud of what Luther and his doctrine of Self Alone has wrought.

The people in this country have sold their souls for a pittance. To avoid having to have some degree of self control a few days a month they're more than happy to have the Constitution used for toilet tissue by their "representatives" and those their "representatives" appoint to the bench.

This ceased to be the land of the free when it became the home of the horny rather than home of the brave.

In her ruling, Judge Carol E. Jackson contended that the mandate does not prohibit a business owner’s religious worship or personal decision not to use contraceptives . . . “This Court rejects the proposition that requiring indirect financial support of a practice, from which plaintiff himself abstains according to his religious principles, constitutes a substantial burden on plaintiff’s religious exercise,” she wrote.

Judge Carol E. Jackson is right . . . if she will also accept the proposition that hiring a hit man (or paying protection money to the mob for "Hit Man Services as needed") is not a sin under Catholic Doctrine, because the person doing the hiring is not directly committing the murder.

Looks like people aren’t too happy with her as a judge: http://www.therobingroom.com/Judge.aspx?ID=1334

She seems to have been a lifelong socialist with no religion at all.

People with God are people without morality:

The judge is simply using the abortion argument. All tax payers have been funding abortion for decades and all of a sudden they want to stand up for their Constitutional rights. Sorry, you already gave them up long ago.

Right, we have gave up our God given rights for what we thought was security years ago so why act like it is just now happening. go vote against big government instead of government handouts.

The judge is wrong. The law recognizes the same idea of moral culpability following the money.

I’m hoping that this next Congress will repeal Obamacare, and thus the mandate, rendering any judicial action irrelevant.
