If this is correct, it CAN’T be constitutional.
Building them prayer rooms and foot-washing basins at taxpayer’s expense is also unconstitutional. But then again, Islam has been treated like a privileged subculture ever since 9/11 by our cowardly politicians.
I don’t agree.. While being a Quaker or 7th Day Adventist did earn a deferment during the draft, those believers still had to pay their share of tax, even that tax which was spent on making or deterring war. These believers may be able to make a case that since their religion forbids taking part in health insurance, any penalty does not apply. So while their normal taxation goes to fund medicare, medicaid, and federal employees, they cannot be forced to pay a penalty above that taxation. In court. I think they win in a slam dunk.
So-ho-ho?
