It’s been a good couple of weeks for the Constitution. Coming right on the heels of two unanimous Supreme Court smack downs of Obama’s federal over-reach, SCOTUS ruled that non-union home healthcare workers cannot be forced to pay union dues and that closely held corporations cannot be forced to violate their religious beliefs.
Had Hobby Lobby lost their case against the HHS mandate, the Green family might well have shut the corporation down rather than violate their beliefs. That would have been 572 stores closed nationwide, and thousands of jobs lost.
Other business owners were waiting for the decision as well. E.g., Autocam which employs 1,500 worldwide and 660 employees in the U.S. Their case was also headed to SCOTUS, but it is so similar that the Hobby Lobby decision basically settles it in their favor.
The Left-Wingers demonstrated their well-known passion for civility and tolerance by misrepresenting the decision as “preventing women from having access to birth control” and threatening (with lots of profanity) to burn down Hobby Lobby stores.
The pathologically lying ignoramus otherwise known as Obamacrat Senator, Barbara “don’t call me ma’am” Boxer, sneered at the SCOTUS decision, making the “case” that Hobby Lobby never filed “moral objection to men getting viagra” and that “vaccines may be next.”
Best tweet responses:
Boxer is so dumb, her strawmen need Viagra to stand up.
Protip: If you have to bring Viagra into a discussion about birth control, you don’t really have any idea of what you’re talking about.
Too bad Boxer and the Party of Science don’t have time to do actual research before they open their mouths.
Viagra brings things to life; abortifacients, quite the opposite.
Why is no Leftie worried about a woman’s right to the free practice of her religion?
For the record, Hobby Lobby pays for insurance coverage for more than a dozen forms of contraception. Their objection was to paying for chemical abortion drugs (RU-486, Plan B, the Morning After Pill) which Lefties mis-classify as contraception.

Update:Rush was talking yesterday about the post I linked to about the thousands in Detroilet who had their water cut off for non-payment. His researchers found that water and sewer are the only utilities in the city that are NOT subsidized,so they have to pay them from their welfare cash. Apparently they have more important things to buy with their free dough than water.
When you make a deal with black vote buyers masquerading as preachers in Mississippi,you’d best not try to stiff them. The going rate was allegedly $15/head for every rent-a-vote. Thud Cockroach reneged on the deal and now the homies wanna get paid.
Cochran Campaign Manager, Staffer Busted in Illegal Vote Buying Operation
Democrat black reverend, who brought “hundreds” to the polls for promise of payment, exposes alleged massive voter fraud, vote buying operation by Cochran campaign.
A black reverend stiffed by the Cochran campaign has exposed an alleged criminal conspiracy by Cochran staffers to commit massive voter fraud ahead of Tuesday’s controversial U.S. Senate Republican runoff election in Mississippi.
Reverend Stevie Fielder, associate pastor at historic First Union Missionary Baptist Church and former official at Meridian’s redevelopment agency, says he delivered “hundreds or even thousands,” of blacks to the polls after being offered money and being assured by a Cochran campaign operative that Chris McDaniel was a racist. “They [the Cochran campaign] told me to offer blacks fifteen dollars each and to vote for Thad.”
Obama condemns ‘senseless act of terror against innocent youth’
No,he wasn’t talking about abortion,silly. He was referring to the murder of 3 Israeli teens,including one who held dual Israeli-American citizenship. After condemning the slaughter he urged the Israelis to ‘show restraint’…apparently to protect his muslim brothers. The IDF has already hit 34 targets in the West Bank and promises further retribution. They’ve been dealing with these goat-roping maniacs for a long time. Violence is all they understand.
