Instead of these Democratic senators urging the Court to deny Hobby Lobby its constitutionally enumerated right to religious expression, they need to do the following. Since previous generations of Constitution-respecting justices had officially clarified that the states have never delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for public healthcare purposes, these Democrats need to address the Hobby Lobby issue in the following manner.

Democrats need to start upholding their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution by complying with the Constitution's Article V. Since Congress has no constitutional authority to address public healthcare, Article V requires Congress to petition the states to ratify an appropriate amendment to the Constitution to acquire such power. And if the states chose to ratify such an amendment, then Congress would have the specific power that it needs to establish a federal public healthcare program like Obamacare.

In other words, corrupt Congress wrongly ignored getting the required consent of the Article V state majority before it established Obamacare.

They ignored that requirement for the War on Drugs.
