Got it..

It's ok to selectively violate the founding premises, long as the screwees are of a sufficiently insignificant class so that we can wink at that all men created equal, liberal crap...

I know this much--only very small "non-public" type of corporations (the legal term is "Closed"-- with possibly no more than 5 shareholders) fall under the protection of the Religious Freedom Act (sayth the Justices) so you don't have to worry about GE and such changing its health benefits.

And if the government has an alternative way to get the benefits to the women working for them (through a 3rd party insurer instead of the owners) i don't understand what all the Sturm and Drang is about (in general--not you specifically).>.

I saw where 90% of the corporations fall under that criteria.

This decision strikes me as containing two very serious, harmful issues. First, it continues to expand the notion that corporations have "personal" rights. Second, it opens the door to an expansive view of the provisions of health insurance exceptions for employees on religious grounds.

That's large; not small.
