In response to the Supreme Court’s decision in the Hobby Lobby case, Senate Democrats are introducing the “Not My Boss’s Business Act,” co-sponsored by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.:
WATCH: Sen. Murray & @MarkUdall unveil their #NotMyBossBusiness bill to fix #SCOTUS #HobbyLobby ruling: https://t.co/oSRM2qtdM5
— Senator Patty Murray (@PattyMurray) July 9, 2014
The Dems’ proposed “fix” as a way around the SCOTUS decision would make Obamacare exempt from the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Ironically, Patty Murray voted for the RFRA in 1993 and Bill Clinton signed it into law that same year.
Donna Brazile’s support for the “Not My Boss’s Business Act” wildly misrepresented what the Hobby Lobby case was all about:
Reverse #HobbyLobby. The "Not My Boss’s Business Act" will make it illegal for Employers to deny Women vital health care services. #Respect

Did SCOTUS’ Hobby Lobby decision make it legal for employers to deny employees “health care services”? Brazile’s statement is disingenuous on multiple levels, and she was called out on the facts:
. @donnabrazile you know darn well that's not what the Hobby Lobby decision was about. Shame on you. RE https://t.co/QlCbAAgrbk

@donnabrazile Oh, please. By that reasoning, employers are denying me my #2A rights by not buying me a gun. Force them to buy me a gun!

.@donnabrazile, support the same for smoking and smoking in bars? Or is this only about attacking religious liberty? https://t.co/8obCdifr9U

@derekahunter @donnabrazile It's like the Supreme Court doesn't exist, except if libs agree with result.
