Shut Up and Take It To Court

There is a simple solution for this:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Obama's rule requiring employer-based healthcare plans – even those sponsored by faith-based groups – to cover contraception infringes on the religious freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. The Kentucky Republican vowed to fight the policy until the White House "backs down."

"In this country the government doesn't get to tell you or your organization what your religious views are – and they could well be minority views – but the Bill of Rights is designed to protect the minority from the will of the majority," McConnell said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

"So this issue will not go away until the administration simply backs down. They don't have the authority … to tell someone in this country, or some organization in this country, what their religious beliefs are. Therein lies the problem."

Mitch McConnell should take the federal government and the 28 states that already mandate birth control coverage to court and see if he's right that the Bill of Rights prevents any level of government from establishing standards for health care plans. In the meantime, he should shut his piehole.

1. When has the government NOT weighed in on religious views?

Are peyote and ganja "herbs" offering religious visions? Did the Catholics get to serve wine with Communion during Prohibition? Does you religion say not to give your child a blood transfusion? What if Allah thinks you should have the freedom to have a second or third wife? What if your religion requires you to refuse to be drafted?

I should start a religion where it says you have an obligation to take care of the less fortunate, the poor, the hungry, and the sick, and see how quick Mitch the Turtle is so stick up for those beliefs.
