We still have some First Amendment rights

Until one more statist gets on the High court then you'll see constitutional protections for speech and religion dissolve like a summer's mist. And most of our remaining economic freedom too. It's all so progressive.

National law journal has the story.

Voting 5-4, the justices today ruled for family-run businesses, including the craft-store chain Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., that say they regard some forms of contraception as immoral.
The ruling carves a hole in Obama’s biggest legislative accomplishment, the 2010 health-care law that the Supreme Court upheld two years ago. More broadly, the decision marks an expansion of corporate rights, saying for-profit companies, like people, can claim religious freedoms under federal law.
