I doubt Sebelius grasps the significance of their namesake, Tyndale.

May the Lord open their eyes as well.

The mask over fascism is revealing itself a little more each day.

The net effect of this will be the loss of all legitimacy of the US government. This is too far from the legal intuition of most Americans who hold on to the belief that this country’s laws are based on this country’s constitution.

Does a corporation have the power to force an employee or stock holder to violate their religious beliefs?

Can the government force a corporation to violate the religious beliefs of either employees, or stock holders, or officers of the corporation when the corporate officials do not agree with the government?

Corporations can own firearms, including machine guns. Corporate right to machine gun ownership is, IIRC, automatically granted by the authorities - subject to the payment of all fees, of course.

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

Maybe we should eliminate corporations and change tax law and liability law accordingly.

I'm kind of surprised the judge didn't simply ask if the corporation has political first amendment rights. Can it contribute to political campaigns? If so, how can the government support one right (freedom of expression), while denigrating another (freedom of religion)?

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

“I agree this will work out badly for the Feds...]

Yet they persist with their attempts at every level. They don’t even hide their contempt for our Constitution any longer, it’s right out there for all to see, yet we seem unable to stop it.

they always have a finger at the ready and in need of somebody’s eye.

It's not just contempt for the Constitution; they have contempt for the citizenry as well...

I don’t think that is necessary as long as the fools in government don’t try to use these legal fictions to trample on the rights of citizens.

These legal fictions have their uses and purposes. Laws are built upon each other like bricks in a building; you don’t start pulling out one brick without think about pulling down the whole wall by accident.

My point was that corporations are really people and to try to separate people from their rights by saying that corporations do not have rights because they are not people is a misapplication of the law. The corporations and the people are one and the same thing.
