Typical Power Grab

LA County has made it illegal and subject to a $1,000 fine to throw a football on the beach. The Constitution prohibits “cruel or unusual punishment” for ANYTHING, and this fits that description. They want people to “get a permit” if they want to do it. Which gives them the power to say “No.” It amazes me how many things that should be our right by BIRTH now require a “permit” or a “waiver” to do. Like not being FORCED to provide contraceptives when to do so is against your basic principles. Obama’s ORDER to the Catholic hospitals and other Catholic-owned businesses to provide contraceptives to its employees, even if to do so is AGAINST their deeply-held principles is yet another example of a power grab, this time by the president. He doesn’t have the power to GIVE such an order, NOR does he have the power to ORDER insurance companies to do so after people objected, just as LA County has no power to BAN footballs or Frisbees on the beach. But they TOOK it, anyway. If nobody stops them, they'll get away with it. (CBS Local)
