Garnett on Hobby Lobby Case | National Catholic Reporter

Garnett on Hobby Lobby Case | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The interesting question of this case is whether the religious liberty rights of employers trump the religious liberty rights of employees.  I think not.  Since the question is Obamacare, which includes federal funding, the employer is acting in the place of the state (in concert with the insurance companies which, by the way, have no problem funding contraception from the savings of a smaller birth rate).  To allow such employers to use state largesse to essentially infringe on the right of their employees to use contraception would do extreme violence to the privacy rights of the employees (and by privacy, we mean autonomy, not secrecy) - essentially undoing Grisswold v. Connecticut.  Hopefully some Amicus made this argument because it is a slam dunk on this case and will put an end to all of this nonsense.
