Constitutional violations

The Trump Administration’s contraception rules violate two constitutional provisions –– the First and Fifth Amendments.

The rules violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment by requiring individuals to bear the burdens of religions to which they do not belong. For example, the rules permit a for-profit business to impose the costs of its owner’s anti-contraception beliefs on employees who do not share those beliefs.

Only women, and not men, may have their contraceptive coverage denied based on their employer’s religious or moral objection. By making a gender-based distinction without sufficient justification, the rules violate the equal protection guarantee implicit in the Fifth Amendment.

Hmm?,I don't like my employer not paying for my beer.

Here's an old song I like;)

Merle Haggard - Working Man Blues

Another good song.

Sleepy John Estes - “Drop Down Mama,” Verse 3, 1935:

Some of these women sure do make me tired
Got a handful of “Gimme”, a mouthful of “Much obliged”

Only women, not men, may benefit from having an employer pay for contraception. That violates the equal protection guarantee implicit in the Fifth Amendment. The only way to grant "equal protection" is to offer no coverage to either party. Pay for it yourself. It's not the responsibility of the taxpayers or fellow employees to subsidize your needs or wants.

I hope some State Employee files a lawsuit against hi state for not providing them with a Ho, House, car, Jet and tickets to the Sonics games. Oh yeah almost forgot Cigarettes and Free 45 ML.

This douchebag clearly fell and injured his brain.

All this grandstanding by Bob Ferguson is designed for his run for Washington State Governor. The Seattle Left celebrates his efforts to sabotage the Trump Administration. He could care less about the American people. He is all out for himself.
