Its interesting how many of my conservative friends see the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court victory less as a constitutional issue and seem to be celebrating more because its a 'knock on Obama'. What happens when Obama is gone, as he most assuredly will be at the end of this term, 2016 regardless of how much knocking goes on. And good riddance as far as I am concerned. To him and to the congress he rode in on.
But on the Hobby Lobby deal, its probably a good thing when the highest court errs on the side of more liberty versus less. I couldn't tell you whether this decision is right or wrong. Not that its above my comprehension, but that its too dang hard to see the consequences of doing it either way. And that's my honest take. Most of the people I've heard crowing about it like its a goal in the World Cup don't either and I pretty much know that as a fact. I haven't heard much real discussion about it. which is why I wrote this. If you think you know, then let me know. I promise I'll listen.
Like I said, I really don't think that this is a life or death decision for anyone now, and that includes the unborn the old testament quoting people who think plan B contraceptives are abortions have been using as their rationalization. There's more in the old testament along the same line about masturbation if you're interested in living the law according to the Old Testament Jews. God actually killed somebody for doing the deed instead of breeding, yes breeding, with his dead brother's wife, which was the law at the time too. I guess we pick and choose which old testament laws we want to get up on our constitutional high horses about when it comes right down to it. There is no New Testament scripture on this subject, by the way. But since there's ambiguity on both sides, let's err on the side of caution. It may be a slippery slope but law ought to be more of an iterative process nowadays especially. Maybe if it was, we'd have some actual improvements to our health laws passed instead of this litigious bullshit.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Which basically says that I don't know a damn thing, but from what I've seen of the 'logic' of both sides the whole issue is pretty pathetic. so the court prolly got it more right than wrong. that' oughta be worth some points right there. In FIFA soccer it probably would get you a point or two.
