I think it was self preservation for the Supreme s, if nothing else.
Imagine you are sitting on the Court and the Executive Branch is making Congress irrelevant...what do you do? You make yourself relevant, and begin the climb out of the s($^ hole this guy has dug as a grave for the other two branches of government....
The left has handed you a precedent and you use it. There in lies Congress’s chance to crawl out from under by using the laws broken by the guy who thinks he is King. So we shall see if Congress does sue him, and if a GOP Senate in Nov...begins the Impeachment in the House with a Senate who convicts. God bless the Supreme s who took the right stand.
I assume that CEOs pay taxes and therefore are “taxpayers” with the same God given rights as those who don’t pay taxes and leech off of hardworking people.
That’s like expecting a repeal of abortion in one fell swoop.
Obviously, writing for Forbes, he is more aware than most. If you read more than just the headline... or even if you only read the headline... the point is not that the SC made a bad decision in favor of Hobby Lobby. He is pointing out that individuals should also have the same protection. Yes, corporations pay taxes. So do a lot of individuals. And even if we pay no taxes at all (iow “free” Obamacare) we should still not be coerced by the government to practice the religion of liberalism. That is what Obamacare does.
I am not stating what I expect, just what is right. Likewise, abortion SHOULD be repealed in one fell swoop. And the perpetrators of this genocide should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. Will that happen in this nation? Probably not until God judges the world. But that is starting to look very soon.
