A WMD: Conservative Supreme Court

This is a great article everyone should read as it really tells it like it is! It really makes great sense.

The Supreme Court's Conservatives Have Turned The Constitution Into A Weapon of Mass Destruction

The Supreme Court’s five male conservative Christians, in ruling for Hobby Lobby, announced in grand fashion that, indeed, the war on women is based on the Christian Right’s faulty interpretation of their rule book, the Christian bible.



The SC makes a ruling the details of which you are obviously unaware, and you think the country is coming unglued. Po, po pitiful you the Liberal.

You actually read the decision? I have, of course. Narrow, and in my view, the correct decision, IF limited as Kennedy, J. writes.

Holy crap are you liberals still f..king whining? The SCOTUS made two rulings that really don't make much of a difference to anyone, including yourself, and you would think this was the Dred Scott decision. Funny how elections have consequences except when things don't go your way. Your side told the right side tough shit when the SCOTUS ruled in favor of Obamacare now at least do us all a favor and STFU.

And I will have to say if ever there was a paid shill poster for the DNC it has to be you. The same old crap from the same old crap mine everyday is all we get from you.

When stories break they need to be told. It's simple as that. And you certainly wouldn't expect these articles to appear in your CONServative media outlets would you. Besides, if you don't like these news and articles simply tune them out. In fact, that's the best thing you can do rather than whine and whine about them with the rest of your klan.

And you're also wrong about the DNC and me. I don't work for them and live too far away from them. All of you CONS love to gang up and spew forth your pro-right agenda stuff but when the left joins in with their items suddenly you and others are up in arms about it. Well, what's good for the goose is Damn Good for the gander! Remember that.

Thank God there are those on the Supreme Court that understand their responsibilities as they relate to the Constitution.
As for liberals and birth control, I think it should be mandatory that all liberals, progressives, and socialists practice what they preach, and abstain from reproducing.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn


try not to think, it'll be ok.

You'll need to explain that to him......after all it appear you've mastered it.

I think we need to abolish the supreme court, and just flip a coin. Or, perhaps, a APP that can analyze all the facts, given all known facts, there has to be an analogue for that. in ten seconds or less, not for this constant debating that drags out over months or years. The human factor, with the ambiguities and the indecisiveness, that has got to go.

The court merely ruled (quite properly) that Obama's Executive Order to alter Obamacare was unconstitutional in that it conflicted with a law signed by Bill Clinton in 1993 after UNANIMOUS approval of the House and near UNANIMOUS approval in the Senate.

When did this occur?

As if you care anything about facts.. You just came from a thread where your hero Hillary Clinton was shown to be a stone cold liar about their finances-- 54 million alone in speaking fees and Hilly claimed they were dead broke, her words.. what did you do???? You changed the narrative about how slick they were in hiding revenue so they didn't have to pay much in taxes.. What a slimy liberal you are.

Not a liberal, nor slimy; take a break from the old west, bathe yourself, you seem....dusty Nor am I a hard core Clinon supporter, preferred her to Obama in the 2008 primaries, would have voted for Liddy Dole had she run. Wrong again Mr. Slinger, but I would guess you are used to that.

It only makes sense if you don't know that SCOTUS based its decision on statutory law passed by Congress.

This was HL's defense. The court wisely agreed. Obama ordered something by the power of his pen that violated statute law of the United States, duly passed UNANIMOUSLY by the House and almost so by the Senate in 1993...then signed by that good old boy, then President Bill "Slick Willy" Clinton.

Obama has been fucked by his own party!

H.R.1308


One Hundred Third Congress


of the


United States of America


AT THE FIRST SESSION

Begun and held at the City of Washington on Tuesday,

the fifth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and ninety-three

An Act

To protect the free exercise of religion.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ‘Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993’.
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF PURPOSES.

(a) FINDINGS- The Congress finds that--
(1) the framers of the Constitution, recognizing free exercise of religion as an unalienable right, secured its protection in the First Amendment to the Constitution;
(2) laws ‘neutral’ toward religion may burden religious exercise as surely as laws intended to interfere with religious exercise;
(3) governments should not substantially burden religious exercise without compelling justification;
(4) in Employment Division v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990) the Supreme Court virtually eliminated the requirement that the government justify burdens on religious exercise imposed by laws neutral toward religion; and
(5) the compelling interest test as set forth in prior Federal court rulings is a workable test for striking sensible balances between religious liberty and competing prior governmental interests.
(b) PURPOSES- The purposes of this Act are--
(1) to restore the compelling interest test as set forth in Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398 (1963) and Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205 (1972) and to guarantee its application in all cases where free exercise of religion is substantially burdened; and
(2) to provide a claim or defense to persons whose religious exercise is substantially burdened by government.
SEC. 3. FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION PROTECTED.

(a) IN GENERAL- Government shall not substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, except as provided in subsection (b).
(b) EXCEPTION- Government may substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion only if it demonstrates that application of the burden to the person--
(1) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest; and
(2) is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.
(c) JUDICIAL RELIEF- A person whose religious exercise has been burdened in violation of this section may assert that violation as a claim or defense in a judicial proceeding and obtain appropriate relief against a government. Standing to assert a claim or defense under this section shall be governed by the general rules of standing under article III of the Constitution.
SEC. 4. ATTORNEYS FEES.

(a) JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS- Section 722 of the Revised Statutes (42 U.S.C. 1988) is amended by inserting ‘the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993,’ before ‘or title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964’.
(b) ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS- Section 504(b)(1)(C) of title 5, United States Code, is amended--
(1) by striking ‘and’ at the end of clause (ii);
(2) by striking the semicolon at the end of clause (iii) and inserting ‘, and’; and
(3) by inserting ‘(iv) the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993;’ after clause (iii).
SEC. 5. DEFINITIONS.

As used in this Act--
(1) the term ‘government’ includes a branch, department, agency, instrumentality, and official (or other person acting under color of law) of the United States, a State, or a subdivision of a State;
(2) the term ‘State’ includes the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and each territory and possession of the United States;
(3) the term ‘demonstrates’ means meets the burdens of going forward with the evidence and of persuasion; and
(4) the term ‘exercise of religion’ means the exercise of religion under the First Amendment to the Constitution.
SEC. 6. APPLICABILITY.

(a) IN GENERAL- This Act applies to all Federal and State law, and the implementation of that law, whether statutory or otherwise, and whether adopted before or after the enactment of this Act.
(b) RULE OF CONSTRUCTION- Federal statutory law adopted after the date of the enactment of this Act is subject to this Act unless such law explicitly excludes such application by reference to this Act.
(c) RELIGIOUS BELIEF UNAFFECTED- Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize any government to burden any religious belief.
SEC. 7. ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE UNAFFECTED.

Nothing in this Act shall be construed to affect, interpret, or in any way address that portion of the First Amendment prohibiting laws respecting the establishment of religion (referred to in this section as the ‘Establishment Clause’). Granting government funding, benefits, or exemptions, to the extent permissible under the Establishment Clause, shall not constitute a violation of this Act. As used in this section, the term ‘granting’, used with respect to government funding, benefits, or exemptions, does not include the denial of government funding, benefits, or exemptions.
Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Vice President of the United States and

President of the Senate.

What happened? Is fudge packing illegal again?!

Thank the Gods the Supreme court leans towards the Conservative side.

20 years of Liberalism in the court would destroy the country.

I hate to say it, but I agree. Conservatives tend to be....conservative...hesitant to change. They are or at least they used to be the brakes on the car.

Citizen's United though is a dangerously foolish progressive idea that was like the HIV [Helping Internal Violation] to our country's democratic rule. It hasn't yet, but with time will bloom into full blown AIDS [Assisted Insidious Determined Sedition] from foreign interests who are our enemies: acting to destroy us with their money internally with the blessings of the "conservative Supreme Court"..

The author of the OP here is angry because s/he views the Hobby Lobby case as having a broader scope than just women's medicines. And indeed it does. Being on the losing side of a Supreme Court decision does feel like one has been "destroyed".

I piss off a lot of my friends on this one.

But I am all for a huge discussion on campaign money and finance.

What you say is a real possiblilty.

Yeah, the funny thing is that you don't even need an advanced law degree or even having passed poli-sci with more than a C- to see immediately the loophole that SCOTUS created for seditious foreign interests/money. It was like they blew a hole in the side of the the Capitol Building and laid out a welcome mat for our enemies [money] to waltz right in.

It's a no-duh moment when you consider that now any foreigner with money can buy his way into super-citizenship & influence without having to take one class in naturalization or swearing the Oath of allegiance or foresaking his own birth country's interests. Prince Talal must be pissing himself with glee. [just Google his holdings here in the US]. Saudi Arabia is famous for aiding Al Qaida with benefits for widows of suicide bombers.

So glad to welcome this new SuperCitizen on board as a "loyal patriot" to US internal interests...

I see that at the local level. It is now more expensive to run campaigns and so the outside money is "needed" and politicians shortcut to a few "money people" to fill their coffers. This happens on both sides and pisses me off.

They get lazy and they are beholden to the money.
