Last week’s Supreme Court ruling that family-owned corporations cannot be required by the government to provide insurance coverage that includes contraceptives, if doing so violates the owners’ religious beliefs, came at an ironically fortuitous time.

Somehow we don’t imagine the legal question involved in the debate is one the Founding Fathers ever could have imagined.
