Congress to Sebelius: “This mandate is going to end up in the Supreme Court”
The Becket Fund ^ | 4/26/12 | admin.

Posted on 04/26/2012 2:32:08 PM PDT by Nachum

Sebelius admits she did not consult Supreme Court decisions on religious liberty when drafting HHS mandate

In this morning’s Congressional House hearing, Sebelius admits she did not consult Supreme Court decisions on religious liberty or have a legal memo prepared before she drafted the mandate. The mandate, unprecedented in American history, forces religious institutions to pay for contraceptives, sterilizations, and abortion-causing drugs, including the morning-after pill and the week-after pill, against their deeply held religious beliefs. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is the first and leading law firm to challenge this mandate–filing in four states and three circuits across the country. Read more about our lawsuits here.

The only solution for this level of institutional incompetency is that she should be fired and her boss should be fired.

Why should she? She and her criminal ilk have been swabbing their rumps with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights from day one.

We used to hang our traitors...

Somewhere in Kansas there is a castle missing a witch or a cornfield missing a scarecrow.

This RICO gang has been out of control from day one. Crap like this simply allows our huge and growing numbers of the less alert and perceptive “citizens” to finally start to “get it”.

Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until sometime early in the morning of November 7th to learn if they did.

If Obozo loses and we get some decent folks up on the Hill — you know, folks with actual functioning TESTICLES — order plenty of popcorn for the pending trials for high crimes and misdomeanors and treason.

Very good post. Thanks. The arrogance of Obama and his minions is breathtaking. They have no respect for liberty or the Constitution whatsoever and must be removed from power. Romney, with all his imperfections, looks like Braveheart compared to Obama and his band of thugs.

I wish I had such an easy job and the milliseconds required for the wages she earns.

Her nonsensical mandate is in clear violation of the Constitution and its prohibition of meddling in church affairs by the federal gov’t.

This in and of itself rises to clear grounds for impeachment of everyone involved.

We can dream, can’t we?

Once we fumigate the WH after the November election, Obama and his army of thugs need to be hunted down and brought to justice.

Yes Fascism and Totalitarianism doesn’t usually care much about the freedom of people much less the rule of law that protects those free people.
