Hillary Clinton destroys Hobby Lobby decision to cheers, applause

[JDPriestly]

10. Hillary is a strong advocate for women's civil rights, but the fact remains that Bill Clinton

signed RIFRA. Did he fail to foresee the harm that bill could do just as Hillary failed to see the harm that voting for the bill that permitted Bush to start the Iraq WAr? Isn't our First Amendment clear enough to protect religious freedom?

Hillary is strong on women's rights, but is that enough?

I just don't have confidence in her ability to make good decisions. And Bill Clinton signed so many bad bills: and made so many questionable appointments. The repeal of Glass-Steagall, the bill that ended the limits on the numbers of telecommunications outlets a single company could own and control, NAFTA and RIFRA, then re-appointing Greenspan to the Fed, appointing Robert Rubin and Larry Summers. The negatives outweigh the positives for me.

But Hillary is great on women's issues. And I do not object to her religion.

I would like to comment on something she said about the Hobby Lobby decision. I want to do more research on some of the text of it, but I noticed that the Court just sort of assumed that Hobby Lobby is "sincere" in its religious views.

I am shocked that any judge in any court would even consider opining on the sincerity of the religious beliefs of a party in a case before it. How can "sincerity" in religious beliefs be a factor or an element that a court determines, supposes, or accepts as a given. Did some lower court determine that Hobby Lobby (a business, good heavens) was "sincere"? Wasn't that an issue of fact? Was it an opinion? How did any court decide the "sincerity" of beliefs of any party before it? Did an expert witness decide that? That seems to have been an important assumption in the opinion.
