Hobby Lobby has religious beliefs that trump its employees' right to health care. Just like the founding fathers intended, don't you know. Isn't it odd that the Supreme Court can't find any constitutional basis for equal treatment under the law for women, but it can find an inviolable First Amendment right for a corporation to practice its religion, even to the detriment of its employees and their families?
