Great post as usual, but I'll disagree on birth control. Republicans are not opposed to birth control. Republicans are opposed to forcing the catholic church to provide birth control, when that clearly forces Catholics to go against their beliefs.
The constitution does not say you can get birth control at work. But for the entire existence of our republic, until Obama took over, we have believed the constitution says you can practice your religion without interference from the feds. Obama has negated 200+ years of precedence there. That's not great history-making, in my opinion.
