Others, however, don’t believe the Commander in Chief job description includes judge, jury, and executioner.
Church State
The University of Notre Dame has joined Catholic bishops in a lawsuit over the president’s contraception mandate. Many of these same Catholics pushed for government mandated health care in the first place. Actually, some still do.
