Doncha know? Religious freedom occurs once a week for Bible thumpers and Papists when they are in a church and no where else. Its in the Constitution. Sheesh.

Key quote in the article and is going to end badly for the Feds.

“Isn’t that as significant burden?”

Unless, of course, her religion is islam!

In that case, we would never be so intolerant.

I get the impression that “Bible Thumpers” and “Papists” are fairly mild epithets compared to what they really think of us ...

I agree this will work out badly for the Feds unless Obama can get another lib on SCOTUS fairly soon.

Oddly, I thought just the opposite. Calling it merely a "significant burden" rather than an outright violation of a fundamental human right, is going to end badly for the citizenry.

Reply to DOJ: Well, I would tell you I could force your wife to be a prostitute, but my clerk tells me I’m too late!

They should’ve immediately been found in contempt and warned to never do that again.

I do not know, but should, what the corporate structure of the various churches that we have in this country. I believe that they are incorporated.

This guy’s logic is that as a corporation, the corporation does not have an individual right of freedom of religion. Corporations have other constitutionally guarenteed right such as freedom of speech but does not havevthe right to vote, or right to bear arms (???). How was it decided that corporation have the right to free speech but not other individual right.

Applying this logic a little further, you could say that freedom of the press belong to the ‘press’ or ‘newspaper’ but does not extend to the individuals working their. So the reporters/editors, et al do not have protection under freedom of the press.

Obama’s fascist pigs don’t think we are human. I don’t think his fascist pigs are human either.

Berwick: Well, your honor, again, I think it comes down to the fact that the corporation and the owner truly are separate. They are separate legal entities.

Corporations are legal fictions forced upon the people by tax law and liability law.

Corporations are people. They are owned by people and run by people.

Even large corporation are still run by people. The presidents and board of directors are elected by the share owners. The major share owners take great interest in who these people are. If the major share owners care what the moral values of the leaders of the company are they will vote accordingly.

You can not separate the moral values (religious values) from the people and the businesses that they run.

Many people believe that you can not legislate morality but the truth is that you can not help but legislate morality because they are one and the same; moral law informs society’s law.

I fear for my country because the laws that I see coming out of our legislature reflects a society that I no longer recognize as a Christian society.

Tyranny, pure and simple. And just like with supporters of the Second Amendment, they are STILL more worried that a Constitutional Convention would cost them their rights. Hello!?? Their rights are already circling the drain! And they still are being sold into debt serfdom by the Federal Reserve Corporation.
