How disgusting this decision has only to do with abortion, NOT anything to do with birth control.

“In a decision of startling breadth,” she wrote, “the Court holds that commercial enterprises, including corporations, along with partnerships and sole proprietorships, can opt out of any law (saving only tax laws) they judge incompatible with their sincerely held religious beliefs.” Uh, yeah, and?

So a corporation owned by Rastafarians can sell marijuana?

In other words, both the First Amendment and RFRA trump any and all so-called “sexual orientation” laws. Or, as Ginsburg put it, private businesses “can opt out of any law (saving only tax laws) they judge incompatible with their sincerely held religious beliefs.”

Okay... so is Obamacare a tax or not?

We can only hope she stays on the Court until we get a Republican President.
She goes to her Maker (who would be Satan) and we get another “wise latina” who will be there for thirty or forty years. The balance of power in the SCOTUS is where the RATs have the country by the balls. Perish the thought that we loose any one of the so-called conservatives while the RATS have both the Presidency and the Senate. This is why I wince every time I see the GOPe pull a stunt like they just did in MS. One of these days, they will loose the swing seat to a RAT by that process and give Obama a breather for the next two years. Actually, they may have already done it!

Indeed, the secularist left’s utter meltdown over having but a small measure of control over others wrested away is highly instructive.

Yes, it is, and in their horror over abortifacients not being paid for by Hobby Lobby, they spread the inference, far and wide, that Hobby Lobby didn't have to provide ANY contraception for its employees. They LIED in many cases by coming out and SAYING that, ignoring completely that, not only was Hobby Lobby willing to provide 16 of the 20 contraceptive methods mandated by Obamacare, they were doing so long BEFORE Obamacare was even considered.

Too many young people, men and women, BOTH, were indignant and downright abusive after the decision came out, because they were convinced that the conservatives on the Supreme Court just hate women, and don't want women to have contraception. They were whipped into a complete frenzy, and it was difficult, if not impossible, to make them see reason. I'm hoping some will at least open their ears after some time has passed, and will realize that the people they trust LIED to them.
