The Just And The Unjust

When the United States Supreme Court meets tomorrow it will be the last day of June and also the last day before they go on their Summer vacation; but it will also be the day they are expected to hand down their ruling on two important decisions that now lie pending. The first one concerns yet another facet of the Affordable Care Act, infamously labelled Obama care. The question under consideration is whether corporations which are for profit, can rely on an inclusive religious component in their policy, and so lawfully relying on the constitutional  right to be regarded as religious, and be exempted on religious grounds, from providing healthcare coverage for contraceptive and or abortion procedures.  The second is of a more worldly nature, and concerns the question, whether Trade Unions can impose dues on non-union members, who benefit from Union activities. For example, they argue, when a union strikes or takes other action which result in a pay raise or other benefits for their members, non-union members get those same increases and benefits  simultaneously.  Therefore, argue the Union, it would be unfair for non- union members to benefit from the dues paid by members, and so they should be required to pay. The argument sounds reasonable on the face of it; reasonable, that is to say, until we remember that when the Lord sends rain, He causes it to fall on the just as well on the unjust; but it is also true that the ways of the Lord are more often than not, not at all like the ways of men.
