I’m very proud of Sen. Tim Kaine for sticking to his guns – despite right wingnut pounding him for days, claiming falsely that Kaine was wrong – and calling out Neil Gorsuch’s extremist views on women’s reproductive health, contraception, corporate rights, etc. Check out the video below. As Sen. Kaine correctly notes: in the Hobby Lobby case, Gorsuch joined the majority ruling but went even further in his concurring opinion.
“Judge Gorsuch wrote a concurring opinion that was incredibly revealing…[he] had already joined the majority opinion…but he stretched beyond to rule that in addition the individuals owning the company should be able to sue to challenge the employer mandate even though they weren’t the employer…more notable…was the way that Judge Gorsuch described what the case was about…‘all of us must face the problem of complicity; all of us must decide the degree to which we are willing to be involved in the wrongdoing of others’…He’s talking about female employees of Hobby Lobby who wish to make their own choice from among available and lawful methods of contraception…He’s also referring to that choice as ‘wrongdoing’…it is a completely irrelevant and insulting reference to something that wasn’t part of the case at all…that’s very telling.”
