I heard the quote on the Roger Hedgecock show yesterday. I don’t really think the woman meant to imply she thought freedom of religion was a bad thing. More like, “like it or not, freedom of religion was guaranteed by the founders.” There are plenty of real causes for outrage in the obamacare mandate business, but I don’t think this WaPo-ette’s commentary is one of them.
I actually tried to interpret her remarks that way. However, wouldn't it have been easier to simply phrase her remark the way you did? I think she probably thought she said what you suggest; but the rest sort of "Freudian slipped" out.
It's perfectly in keeping with Hussein's remarks that "the Constitution didn't make any allowances for redistribution of wealth"; that "the constitution makes it harder to govern"; and Ginsburg's remarks that the Muslim Brotherhood should emulate South Africa's constitution rather than ours.
