The East Earl owners of Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. on Thursday received a $25,000 Heritage Foundation prize for taking their religious liberty fight to the Supreme Court.

Norman Hahn, founder of the 1,053-employee kitchen cabinetry firm, and his family, pro-life Mennonites, are challenging the government's requirement that they cover emergency contraception in their workers' health plan. They say paying for the pills and devices would violate their religious convictions.

1. Wow ...

When I heard of this case ... and having grown up in the Mennonite Church/tradition, my immediate and first thought was, since when did the Mennonite Area Conference(s) or MCC, sanction secular law suits?

Somebody needs to revisit Mennonite Doctrine/Core Beliefs.

2. They made it all the way to the top of the $25,000 pyramid.

3. Hobby Lobby high on Koch

"The conservative Heritage Foundation also awarded the Salvatori Prize for American Citizenship to David Green, founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby, a chain of craft stores that also sued over the contraception mandate."

*The disgusting Koch Brothers fund the Becket Fund.
*The Becket Fund represented Hobby Lobby pro-bono -no legal cost.
*AND Hobby Lobby was awarded $25,000 as a 'prize' from the Koch funded Heritage Foundation!!!

Winners are the way around!

4. That's a nice little racket, they have going there, Duppers.

No legal cost and $25,000 to boot.

I believe the only "In God We Trust" they believe in is that on the dollar bill or should I say 25 thousand of them.

5. Becket Fund also responsible for: Discrimination laws not protecting certain religious group workers

Remember this from back in Jan. 2012:

Supreme Court: Discrimination laws do not protect certain religious group workers

The justices ruled unanimously that the First Amendment’s guarantee of the free exercise of religion means that even neutral laws intent on banning workplace discrimination may not be applied to a religious institution choosing “those who will guide it on its way.”

The ruling came in the case of Cheryl Perich, a teacher who complained that a Evangelical Lutheran Church and School in Redford, Mich., violated the Americans With Disabilities Act in 2005 when it fired her after she received a narcolepsy diagnosis.
