Judge rules for religious freedom over Obamacare.

Quote
Freedom of religion, the judge wrote, is a fundamental right, "a liberty of conscience."

What makes this more interesting is that Tom Beckwith is the brother of a friend that lives here in our neighborhood!
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

A local operation , Hobby Lobby is also in court for pretty much the same thing.
Maybe Obamacare will die the death of a thousand cuts.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

The case is the first of its kind in Florida - or any of the three states covered by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals - involving a profit-making entity, according to the ACLU Deputy Legal Director Louise Melling, who said she expects the government will appeal.


The ACLU filed a brief supporting the government, while Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi's office and a consortium of religious groups filed briefs in support of Beckwith.

Not so heavy on the L in ACLU these days.

It has to be an approved liberty.
