Separation of Church and State?

Agreed.

Yes, I just said that unjust laws can be revoked, that's one of the jobs of the justice system. They just never revoke laws and make decisions based around those laws at the same time.

How exactly is this a defense of their interpretation. How exactly are they doing both of these at "the same time"? What relevance does this have to the nature of the law being unjust? Nothing, the judges push an interpretation of the law, often skewed by their political slant, which quite frankly should be opposed in such a case as this.

Actually, it's not the job of the justice system to revoke unjust laws. Only unconstitutional ones. May seem like a minor point...but it can mean the difference between activisim and constitutionalism.

thank you for drawing that distinction.

-But as we all know some constitutional amendments can clearly be unconstitutional.

My point with the above story is that perhaps it cuts both ways and it would be unfair of the employee to start crying discrimination and demanding health care benefits if they accepted the job knowing such benefits wouldn't be made available.

That's exactly my point as well: If you knowingly and willingly accept a job that doesn't provide contraceptives, you have little grounds to complain.
