Any predictions on the SCOTUS ruling on Burwell v. Hobby Lobby?  The SCOTUS has already basically declared the corporations have the same free speech rights as individuals in the Citizen's United ruling.  Will they now grant religious rights to corporations as well?

My guess is yes, they will.

In my opinion, it needs to be left to each state to decide what they want.

No, each state should not be left to decide what is and is not constitutional.   :rolleyes:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

The 10th amendment doesn't over-rule the U.S. Constitution.

No, ignorance describes your understanding of the Constitution.  I can't wait for the fucking civil war.

"Several states have introduced various resolutions and legislation in protest to federal actions. Despite this, the Supreme Court has explicitly rejected the idea that the states can nullify federal law. In Cooper v. Aaron (1958), the Supreme Court of the United States held that federal law prevails over state law due to the operation of the Supremacy Clause, and that federal law "can neither be nullified openly and directly by state legislators or state executive or judicial officers nor nullified indirectly by them through evasive schemes . . ." Thus, state laws purporting to nullify federal statutes or to exempt states and their citizens from federal statutes have only symbolic impact."

Marriage in the United States is the legal recognition of certain relationships - normally, monogamous pairings committing for life - that is regulated by individual States.

I was moron.  Go back and read once in a while.  I was responding to PH's comment about marriage equality. 

I said each state should not be left to decide what is and is not constitutional.

Then you started spewing ignorant BS.
