Monday was a lousy day at the Supreme Court for politicians and bureaucrats who enjoy forcing others to do their will. The high court issued two crucial opinions, Burwell vs. Hobby Lobby and Harris v. Quinn. Both rulings protect constitutionally guaranteed individual freedoms that Democratic politicians seek to compromise.
The Hobby Lobby ruling weakened a controversial Department of Health and Human Services mandate imposed on employers after Obamacare became law. The so-called HHS mandate imposes massive fines on employers unless they provide comprehensive coverage for all FDA-approved forms of contraception – including four that can extinguish a human life after conception. The Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby, a closely held business owned by the devoutly Christian Green family, objected to the requirement for abortifacient coverage.
