Frank--thanks for circulating.

At least with regard to the 5 guys and Hobby Lobby, it seems to me that the
outrage is misplaced.  Congress wrote and passed the ACA and RFRA.  The
Court was asked to resolve what appeared to be a conflict between the two
laws.  The deafening silence of Congress in the wake of the decision
suggests that this is the balance that members want between the two laws.

I find the decision lamentable for a number of reasons:

But, I admit that the controversy arose from Congressional action.  The
Court had a mess to resolve that was really' Congress's to clean up.
