Chauncey Devega considers the Hobby Lobby decision, a repugnant act which enables persons who happen to be “employers” to impose their religious beliefs on persons who happen to be “employees.”
It is thoroughly a transgression of the United States Constitution on the part of those who are expected to uphold and interpret it, in that it allows the “establishment of religion” on the part of those who issue paychecks to others.
Devega points out that, by its own reasoning, the decision violates the establishment clause of the Constitution.
Unintended consequences may lay bare the hypocrisy of the Right-wing and its agents on the Supreme Court.
How would conservatives and their agents respond if a company with Islamic beliefs (however defined) decided to impose its religious values on white, Christian, American employees?
I’m not surprised by the decision. The venality, politicization, and subservience to right-wing doctrine of the Roberts court has already been amply demonstrated.
I am disgusted. However many times someone enters an outhouse, the smell is always the same.
