As far as I can see, it's double dipping on the part of Planned Parenthood.
For a conservative the Wall of Separation limits the influence of government on the church. For a liberal the Wall limits the influence of the church on government. Conservatives restrict the government from dictating to God. Liberals are God.
Marking my calendar.
It would be nice if the court said that the government has no authority to get into the nuts-and-bolts or what is and is not included in health care plans in general, not limited to contraception.
I wouldn’t put any hope in the Reagan-GWB appointees Kennedy and Roberts.
The liberal arguments here are absolutely insane. They claim that enforcing the clear language of the “free exercise” clause of the first amendment would somehow violate a “separation” principle that appears nowhere in the constitution and must therefore be discarded. To believe this is to believe that the Court has the power to rewrite the constitution at will to accommodate the prevailing political fashions of the day. This, of course, is tyranny.
I am sure the bad guys know who is voting their way and who is in need of squeezing..
I read an article the other day about Speaker Boehner frequents a favorite Italian restaurant in DC where he is allowed to smoke in a certain room. I thought there was no smoking in any restaurant these days. From my perspective this is a small issue but shows the contempt of the law by the political (Read: Criminal) class.
Obama-Obama-Obama, I am sick of hearing that name, and really sick n tired of Democrat liberals pushing their agenda which is destroying the United States of America!
hey what’s the whole un-severability thing going to do if this goes Hobby Lobby’s way?
I did read the entire article but it did not go into outcomes of the decision going either way.
but i do recall that 0bamacare bill did not include severability - so that one part being found unconstitutional would make the whole bill unconstitutional...
"[A] decision in favor of Hobby Lobby would undermine both corporate law and the separation of church and state.” Oddly, he fails to explain how a victory for the arts and crafts chain could produce such an implausible result.
Yet, like Professor Paul, numerous church-state separation groups have perversely interpreted this case as an attempt to foist a state religion on an unsuspecting populace.
The logic they use for this preposterous claim reflects their world view, and confirms what Mark Levin has been saying for a long time: that liberals are really "corporatists" (another word for fascists) - they view corporations as agents of the government. Therefore, any policy a corporation adopts is, in their view, a policy of the government.
