This is really simple.
The Administration's rule on contraception coverage has the same language and same conscience exclusions as those in over two dozen states.
So is it a state's rights issue or not? No speaker at CPAC framed their objections as a state issue. When pressed, they are calling it federal overreach. OK, then it is federal overreach.
But wouldn't that imply that, therefore, states have the authority to mandate contraception coverage on their own? Evidently not, because the ONLY thing we hear is that this is one of a long, as yet uncited list of Obama assaults on religious liberty.
Therefore, as with most socially conservative positions held by our "friends" at CPAC, their arguments are motivated by dogma, not by constitutionalism. There is no alternative.
Therefore, as with most of their other arguments, they are blatantly unconstitutional.
So bite me, CPAC jerks.
