To me they seem to confine it to being able to have your religious views in church or in temple or wherever you worship on sunday or wherever, whenever you worship, and thats it as opposed to living out your religious views 24 hours a day seven days a week. I think the real assault is on religious liberty. I think the hobby lobby case where the green family was threatened with over a Million Dollars in fines if they didnt want to pay for adortafations was correctly decided. I wish there had been a 90 ruling. This is the latest assault on religious liberty. You see it in the case that was decided with the administration, the case of a lutheran school, went in and tried to argue there was no ministerial exemption that had long been recognized in the employment laws. When you think about that, whats dangerous, they didnt have to claim that in simply deciding that case. They could have gone with a much more narrow argument. Instead the government was claiming there was no protection for ch

To give us more details about the budget unveiled by house budget chairman paul ryan, lauren french is joining us. She is the congressional reporter with politico. 5 trillion over the next decade. How does he propose saving that much money . It is kind of a hodgepodge of savings. Interests that the government will not save. We missed that little bit we have an audio hick up. Hiccup. The budget does call for a full repeal of the healthcare law. That will bring in about 1. 2 trillion of savings. There will be savings from medicare changes. He is counting interest the government will not pay on the debt. There is a hodgepodge, but the big bulk of it does come from repealing the healthcare law. How does that save
Mr. Cornyn madam president . The presiding officer the republican whip. Mr. Wiern madam president , four years ago mr. Cornyn madam president , four years ago members of this senate came to the floor every a day to talk about Americas Health care system. I remember distinctly being here on Christmas Eve, 2009, at 7 00 in the morning, witnessing a partyline vote on obamacare, all of our democratic friends voted for it, all republicans voted against it. I guess the most charitable thing i could say our domestic friends actually thought it would work while republicans were skeptics about this biggovernment takeover of onesixth of our national economy. Well, four years later the cost of obamacare has become abundantly clear. I dont think its an exaggeration to say that obamacare is the biggest case of Consumer Fraud ever perpetrated in this country. A law that was supposed to expand coverage to those without it has instead caused millions of people with coverage to lose theirs, a law that
Exchanges but no bound so sightly tightly that youre so stuck on the rules, you cut them off just before they say, i killed my wife. Sorry, youre out of time. You want to make sure thats exchange. We all function by rules, though. Judy, you raised about the topic. Did you like the format, one for Foreign Affairs i think given an ideal situation, you think a president deals a great deal with Foreign Policy, domestic policy, and i think ideally it makes a lot of sense just to make sure that youre not going to be so heavily weighted one way or another. For example in the 2004 election, when iraq was a huge issue, i could say, gwen, remember this better than i will that may have been a time when there would be when the candidates would want to spend a lot more time oop Foreign Policy. Right now most voters say their primary concern is the economy. So, i think maybe there needs to be a little more flexibility on that. I know candy, im sure, was thinking about that as she was figuring about
Companies should be required to cover overthecounter Birth Control because they dont do that now. A couple of things. One, i see this becoming more common in many different races. You see colorado and North Carolina in particular. A couple of senatorial candidates. I think that the fact that the left has reacted so loudly shows you that its working. I think they realize this is no longer a tactsic they can use. They can no longer caricaturize our position. When i originally offered this idea, we were following the recommendations at that time, the recent recommendations, of the medical societies themselves. The doctors themselves think this is a safe product, should be offered over the counter. Two things. One, allowing the product to be offered over the counter doesnt stop a woman from being able to get the product with a prescription through her doctor, therefore it would still be covered. Some of the democrats are trying to attack these Republican Senatorial candidates saying the In
