Regulators! We regulate any selling of his oil rights, we’re drat good too. But you can’t be any geek off the street. You’ve gotta be handy with naval power if you know what I mean, earn your keep. Regulators, mount up!

So this came across my radar this morning. You know how Hobby Lobby wanted to refuse certain types of birth control? This is an even crazier case. Pharmacists refuse to fill prescriptions for Plan B and Ella and now Alliance Defending Freedom is taking the case to Washington because “No one should be forced to choose between their deepest religious convictions and their profession,” http://www.alliancedefendingfreedom.org/News/PRDetail/9239 quote:SEATTLE — The legal teams who won their cases on behalf of Conestoga Wood Specialties and Hobby Lobby at the U.S. Supreme Court filed a brief this week at the request of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit about the impact of the high court’s decision on a case involving two Washington pharmacists and a pharmacy owner. The 9th Circuit had suspended activity in their lawsuit, Stormans v. Wiesman, until the Supreme Court issued its ruling.

These rulings about religious belief essentially only cover Christians and vaginas, right? I'm sure I wouldn't be able to deny service to anyone who believed in a God at my Atheist Bakery.

Maybe they should just take the Republican advice for when you don't like your working conditions or salary and just get a new job.

Didn't some store make a rule about not starting a shift unless there is at least one pharmacist capable of dispensing medication in response to a case like this?

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:So this came across my radar this morning. You know how Hobby Lobby wanted to refuse certain types of birth control? This is an even crazier case. Wait this is actually a case? The plaintiffs win, slam dunk. It won't even be a 5-4 decision. LONG long legal precedent for letting doctors and pharmacists issue referrals rather than doing procedures on religious grounds, and being protected from lawsuits that follow from the negative consequences of them doing so. I remember first learning about abortion as a kid because of a case like this in the 90s. A woman was in a wreck, they discovered in the treatment she was pregnant, she wanted an abortion but the catholic hospital she was at wouldn't do it and since she was in intensive care she couldn't be transferred. Ended up having to carry it to term because by the time she was cleared to be moved it was too far along.

Is there some sort of living will that you can sign so they will never send you to a Catholic hospital?

Seriously, is there anything more beltway cocktail circuit painful than listening to John Dickerson and David Plotz and Emily Bazelon? Each of them encompasses one entire aspect of what I hate about our political media, with obvious Venn Diagram overlap. EDIT: Actually, currently in Phuket where they never make it.

I just like that they are complaining because they are not doing the job they were hired to do. Plus Ella and Plan B are not abortifacient but that is something they will refuse to admit

Fried Chicken posted:So it has become a thing for rich American couples to film their weddings with drones. Drones and weddings, huh? Insert your own hosed up gallows humor joke here. We either need to start referring to these as just quadcopters or find something else to call predator drones, because they are two very obviously different things.

While it applies to both, I think UAV is distinct in its connotation (unless you're a security nutter and want to call your quadcopter a UAV).

Last week they were posting from the Star Wars - 9/11, I figured we'd see something on that level of twisted. And I don't thing quibbling over calling civil models drones will do much. No one conflated army jeeps with machine guns with regular jeeps, or a F-16 with a 747 because both are planes

It's funny though because there's a lot of hysteria about drones that was redirected* as "scary new military tech"* rather than "US military killing people". *Assuming that wasn't the feeling from the start.
