I'm sure Obama knows he's on the right side of the Constitution.

Is this the same Obama who said that it was unconstitutional for Bush to use warrantless wiretaps, and who is now defending them? If so, I don't think he cares about the constituion any more than Bsuh did, so arguing that he knows what he is doing is even more idiotic than telling me this is not a 1st Amendment issue.
Everyone keeps trying to argue that, because freedom of religion is not absolute, this is obviously not violating that freedom. Guess what, freedom of speech is not absolute either, but that does not mean the government can tell people from Westboro Baptist Church they cannot insult you. There are limits to what the government can do, and forcing a religion to pay for something that violates its conscious is clearly one of them. If it wasn't Obama would not have exempted the Amish from Obamacare.
My guess is that is not a single person anywhere that can explain why one is right and the other is wrong.
