More on Obama's proposal . . .

Well, like Cathy says, we disagree.  Because we have the luxury of being able to hash things like this out in real space — i.e., lovely South Bend — I’ll just say that (a) I don’t see the relevance of the Goodling / DOJ-hiring business to the question whether religious freedom is well served by requiring religious social-welfare organizations that receive some public funds to comply with non-discrimination laws (certainly, no one, in any Administration, should break the laws that govern the filling of non-political DOJ jobs), and (b) I don’t see why the fact that, for some religious organizations, the no-discrimination-in-services rule would be burdensome lessens the threat posed to religious freedom by the proposed no-discrimination-in-hiring rule.
