Full Title: Justice: How Can Gov’t Function If It Can’t Make People Do Things They Believe Will Damn Their Souls?

All of the world's great religions have made it clear that the wanton destruction of innocent life is sinful or "Damning". It is clear that government would abandon its legitimacy if it forced practitioners of a particular faith to abandon this principle.

It’s reassuring that the Wise Latina demonstrates such sensitivity regarding issues of faith.

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

A better question: How can government be legitimate when it forces individuals and religious organizations to commit or pArticipate in actions which violate their consciences?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Force them at the point of a gun, of course. But you knew that, Ms. Justice, didn’t you?

[Uncle Miltie]

When the Draft is on, conscientious objectors to war generally (the actual Amish?) do have an ability to avoid service.

Similarly, there should be an exception for people required to provide what they see as the murder of babies.

This is simple. But the “Wise Latina” can’t grasp simple.

[forgotten man]

Chilling. What an evil beotch.

[fwdude]

She is such an ignorant c...., well, you know.

[Sparticus]

“If ve say you vill do the killings, then you vill do the killings, no?”

[DrPretorius]

The very fact that a creature who could ask such a question as Sotomayor posed was elevated to the USSC is an indicator that the historical period of the USA operating as a Constitutional Republic is dead and gone already.

Justices can be removed by impeachment. In 2017 they should start with her.

[rockinqsranch]

Were not certain unions, and corporations given exemption by the Obama Administration? I believe I read that several occasions one being just the other day posted here at FR.

[Mr. K]

The nuns are OBSOLETE

The State has proven that there is no God

[donna]

Small government is the answer.

[Pearls Before Swine]

“Because every believer that’s ever come before us,..."

There's a whole lot of ego wrapped up in that phrasing. They're all supplicants before the wise Latina, raised up and appointed by King Obama.

Justice Sotomayor: How Can Gov’t Function If It Can’t Make People Do Things They Believe Will Damn Their Souls? “I’m not naysaying that that is a very substantial perceived personal burden by them. But if that’s always going to be substantial, how will we ever have a government that functions? How will we ever have anything that the government can demand people do in objecting…that won’t be a problem?”

This is incredible.

The amount, the levels, the sheer number, of perversities wrapped up in this utterly and - by definition - INHUMAN question is mind boggling.

Sotomayor literally believes she is God.

She is insane.

[El Cid]

With that kind of response, from the Wise Latina, I'd be more inclined to ask why God is so long-suffering, and patient, to refrain from raining down fire and brimstone on such a Government/Nation that compels its citizens to 'do things that will damn their souls'...

Although the Wise Latina, probably hasn't cracked open a Bible in a while, she should remember it is better to suffer death than to be cast into Hell for eternity. Fear God, not man.

[PghBaldy]

Will she force muslims to eat pork?

[Ray76]

Hey wise latino Sotomayor and the rest of you nitwits: compulsion to contract is illegal. PPACA is compulsion to contract.

Little Sisters of the Poor, or anyone else, is not bound to contract under threat. PPACA is styled as a law but it is nothing.

[blueplum]

so is Sotomayer advocating draft registration of Amish?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

So it has come down to that? That question speaks volumes. Let her ponder it a while and let’s see what answer she comes up with.
