Good morning Morgana,
Why do the good folks of W.V. Support Joe?
He is fully behind obammy and does little but pay lip service to his war on coal which essentially IS W.V. Economy.
SCOTUS ruled based on the RFRA, another federal law, rather than based on the First Amendment. Because of that strategy (chosen to keep the ruling as narrow as possible), a new law modifying RFRA can overturn the SCOTUS decision. That will lead to a new court case and another SCOTUS decision on whether the First Amendment still applies to Christians in the sick world of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, but it kicks the can down the road several years. That's a win for the far left.
That's been going on for many decades. The Hobby Lobby decision was based on application of a statute RFRA, Religious Freedom Restoration Act (which was itself a reaction to SCOTUS decisions).
The other example that comes to mind is the creation of the snooping law, FISA, in reaction to a SCOTUS decision that suppressed evidence based on a wiretap. The first SCOTUS decision on wiretapping said it was perfectly legal without a warrant, because there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in a phone call.
SCOTUS and Congress are all over the map on decisions. "Living Constitution." One thing about living things, they all die.
When a Leftist claims to be “pro-life”, what he means is that he doesn’t want to die - could care less about you/me/babies.
There is no such thing as a pro-life member/supporter of the party of death.
