Supreme Court Justice Monty Python's decision in Hobby Lobby

The recent Hobby Lobby court decision is reminiscent of Monty Python in more ways than one. The first, most obvious connection is "Every Sperm is Sacred." Wow, I just watched that again for the first time in 15 or 20 years. Hilarious, but also sad in the sense that there is now a 19 and counting show on TV, and 5 Supreme Court Justices and Rick Santorum would not understand the humor. They take it seriously, and they are kind of mindless drones that had (mis)interpreted some ancient biblical text and then decided to ignore all the ramifications in the real world. Ignoring the fact that there is now no need for unwanted babies when we have modern medical understanding and technology, and denying the access to that for primarily low-income families is just cruel, and that cruelty is ironic considering the holier-than-thou stance that the 5 Supremes and their religious allies take. The ruling also follows Monty Python logic. If corporations are people (if she weighs the same as a duck), then corporations need religious freedom (then she's made of wood), therefore they can deny covering contraceptives (so she floats), and can ignore laws when they feel like it (and is therefore...a witch!! Burn her!!). The parallel is uncanny. And just as Monty Python refers to the "laws of science" when the witch is taken away to be burned, these Supreme Court justices will say they are being originalist, and rail against liberals who want to ban assault weapons. Just goes to show that folks will think anything is logical if they can string any set of words together one after the other.
