An e-mail on Coakley’s no-Catholics-should-work-in-hospital-ERs (or run them?) announcement:

Coakley agrees that “The law says that people are allowed to have that.[religious freedom]“
Let’s think about that formulation for a minute: people are allowed. Allowed by whom? WE are the people, WE gave the government its limited powers. It is not up to the government to decide what we are allowed, it’s the other way around.
The arrogance, the haughtiness, are stunning.
Is she related to John Kerry somehow?

She, of course, just put something like a no-Catholics-allowed sign up on hospital emergency rooms (a few of which are operated by the Catholic Church). Please let an Irish Catholic in Boston know about that. I hear there may be one of those there.
