The stupid thing - well, one of the stupid things - is that this had absolutely nothing to do with Republicans. It had everything to do with the Constitution... and I don’t care what bill they craft: the Constitution trumps it.
Actually, I believe it had everything to do with the Religious Freedom Act, signed by a 'Rat pres and passed by a 'Rat congress way back when. The Hobby-Lobby decision does not mention the 1st amendment, only that act. What the 'Rats say they want to do is repeal or modify that act; forcing perhaps a later SCOTUS decision without the law.
