“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;. . . “

What part of the 1st amendment does Holder not understand?
He is a BIG a buffoon and idiot as his boss!!

Eric holder received his law degree for the Closed Before Srikeing School of law.

That’s why he has NO clue as to what the First Amendment says.

2012 America:

In which the highest law enforcement official in the land doesn’t possess even a Junior High level understanding of BASIC Constitutional bedrock issues.

After reading the article and watching the video, I don’t think the headline is accurate. He doesn’t seem to be saying the First Amendment allows govt to force...but otoh I don’t understand WHAT he said. Homeless schizos on the NY subway have made more sense.

This administration believes it can do anything it wants without constitutional and/or congressional authorization.

See my tagline.

Holder is following the Obama script. What's next? Mandatory euthanasia for the old, sick and disabled? Conservatives banned from politics and exiled?

Nothing would be a surprise from this crowd.

Congress should be recalled and indicted for misprision
of felony for allowing this travesty.

This country has been seized by coup d’etat.
Justice is a joke.

The rule of law is dead, buried in John Jay’s grave,
stabbed in the heart by SCOTUS.

Holder and Obama are in a lose lose situation on this. If they back off it will infuriate the hard left of his party and without the hard left he loses the election. It will also infuriate the practicing Catholics which normally vote in the majority for the democrat party. Even the Catholics that practice birth control are angry. They are angry because of the invasion of their church by federal regulators. The abortion issue cuts across all religions and is a negative for Obama.

Other denominations are also furious about this. They see the intrusion of the government in the Catholic church and they fear they may be next.

As I said this is a lose lose for Obama.

Something people need to realize: Muslims and Muslim groups are exempt from Obamacare altogether because an imam has claimed that insurance is gambling and that Islam forbids gambling.

People want to make the contraception issue about whether or not the Catholic teaching is mainstream, whether women need contraceptives, etc. But if the government is going to refuse Catholics the right to practice their religion because its views are not “mainstream”, then they should be asking whether Muslim views on insurance and/or gambling are “mainstream” - and require Muslims to participate in the “mainstream” things they despise.

But they won’t. They never will. Obama’s government will never require Muslim organizations to buy swimming suits for their women to wear around town. They will never require Muslims to buy a pork processing plant. Etc.

The real story of this Obamacare mess is seen most clearly by the fact that the government is SIDING WITH ISLAM AND AGAINST CATHOLICISM. If the government was going to remain religiously neutral then they would do the same thing for Muslims as they do for Catholics as they do for atheists as they do for Amish as they do for Hindus, etc... The Muslims objected to insurance, so the government said, “Never mind.” The Catholics objected to contraception and abortion so the government said, “You have to participate in these things anyway.”

This is a sharia-compliant law. It institutes legal preference for Islam and imposes what amounts to a dhimmi tax on non-Muslims. It affirms government protection of MUSLIM religious freedom while trashing NON-MUSLIM religious freedom.

We need to ask the right questions about this. Specifically, we need to be asking why Muslims are exempt on conscientious grounds if Catholics aren’t also exempt on conscientious grounds.
