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.

Freedom of religion requires the state to carefully parse its authority to avoid threatening the moral foundation of the citizens. Her argument is false. Not every, or even most, cases involve moral challenges. When they do it is the responsibility of the government to insure its laws do not subject a preponderance of citizens to infringement upon their religious beliefs.
Her argument is very simple. Religion cannot be allowed to interfere with the authority of the state. That is a direct assault on the Constitution. Impeachment and removal are perfectly appropriate and necessary in Sotomeyer’s case.
