Beware!
Two wrongs don’t make a right. The Founding States never intended for our constitutional freedoms to be absolute. But as a consequence of widespread ignorance of 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty, activist justices have been getting away with weakening state sovereignty since before the days of Constitution ignoring FDR.
Consider unconstitutional Obamacare for example. All that we’re hearing about in legal efforts to fight it is legal technicalities as opposed to unique, 10th Amendment-protect state power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes versus the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.
So while it’s good the Court decided in favor of the church on this issue, the decision can also be regarded as another razor cut by the feds to destroy state sovereignty in the eyes of low-information citizens who have no idea what state sovereignty is.
I understand your point. Something to think about.
Still, how do we respond to local government authorities that do not protect basic freedoms? (Kelo vs. New London comes to mind...)
AMEN!!!!! and AMEN!!!!!
