Dear Friends,
We have been waiting for the Supreme Court's ruling on Hobby Lobby. Today the Court announced that it will release this decision on Monday, June 30th.
As we wait for the outcome of Hobby Lobby, we were enormously cheered by the Court's decision today in McCullen v Coakley. The Court decided unanimously that free speech is protected in front of abortion clinics. We are celebrating this affirmation of free speech. Becket Fund Senior Counsel Mark Rienzi fought this case personally for 7 years, taking the case four years before he joined the Becket Fund. We congratulate him on his outstanding work and his 9-0 victory.
Kudos to the Becket Fund! Ping.
Liberals: Steeeeeerike two.
You know it’s a stinker of a law when all nine of them agree.
A few years ago the Supreme Court affirmed the right of a bunch of nutcases to show up at the funerals of service people and protest something. As I said to many times,
“Only in America could a body called the ‘Supreme Court’ rule that a right of privacy exists for a parent to murder a child, but no similar right of privacy exists for a parent to bury a child. And a child that has died fighting for our country to boot!!”
Lots of my friends started using that line. Maybe it got back to the Supremes and they thought they'd fix half of it. (I still think it is disgusting to have grieving parents harassed at a funereal.)
