The Administrative State and Religious Freedom


Published on Nov 18, 2017
Views: 14
At both the federal and state levels, bureaucrats wield power to make decisions that substantially impact the exercise of religion. From interpreting and enforcing public accommodations laws to administering vast regulatory regimes and deciding how all of these laws interact with RFRAs, agencies headed by political appointees are often charged with determining --- at least in the first instance --- the extent to which generally applicable law will impinge on religious freedom. Who will be required to provide contraceptive coverage; how will religious accommodations be extended, and to whom? Must bakers and photographers with religious objections service gay weddings? Must doctors perform surgeries on patients that violate their faith and medical judgment? Even without a change in legislation, the answers to such questions often flip after new administrations appoint new agency heads. This panel will discuss whether the administrative state places religious freedom in too precarious a position, and if so, what can and should be done about it.

E Pluribus Unum? Getting The Nation Sorted-Out

Here's revisiting reporter Tyler Durden again writing on ZeroHedge yesterday, using as an original resource an intermediary blog Via Jim Quinn's Burning Platform blog,
In his fourth book, “American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures in North America,” award-winning author Colin Woodard identifies 11 distinct cultures that have historically divided the US. . . Please read that again: 11 distinct cultures

The11 Nations Of The United States
by Tyler Durden    Nov 17, 2017 11:45 PM 
Blogger Note: Tyler Darden's report has attracted about 170,000 views and 240+ comments already since getting published just before midnight yesterday 
That may be the case for the purposes to explain three centuries of immigration patterns across the entire continent from European countries, some with religious origins, but he also takes the time and effort to feature another infographic at the end of his online report.
That is what you first in the opening of this post - it's that "Red-and-Blue" thing in liberal-conservative voting patterns from the last election. It's way more of a mosaic with red predominant. That works across what Woodard theorizes about eleven "nations". It's not exactly polarized since it's all spread out across the cultural settlement lines in the next image taken from Darden's report.
"Woodard also believes the nation is likely to become more polarized, even though America is becoming a more diverse place every day.
He says this is because people are “self-sorting.”
“People choose to move to places where they identify with  the values,”  Woodard says. “Red minorities go south and blue minorities go north to be in the majority. This is why blue states are getting bluer and red states are getting redder and the middle is getting smaller.”
