Errors in the liberal media are seldom noted. I like to read Slate, but as with so much media it has a political slant that interferes with the truth.
What happens when the legal analysts at Slate get things flatly wrong, in the service of generating a desired ideological frisson
for their liberal-minded readers? Does anyone act embarrassed or make
humble noises about not letting it happen again? These questions arise
following a November 1 column
in which Emily Bazelon and Dahlia Lithwick baldly, flagrantly misstate
the holding of a new opinion by Judge Janice Rogers Brown deeming the
Obamacare contraceptive mandate in present form to violate the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). (RFRA, enacted in 1993, requires
government to take certain steps to avoid, when it can readily do so,
substantially burdening religious observance.)
