Lynn, the indefatigable director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, explains, on abortion provisions in the health-care bill , that there’s “a visceral sense that this [Catholic lobbying] went way over the line—even if as a technical matter, it didn’t violate the law.” Well, yes, way over the line in the visceral sense—except, of course, that it didn’t cross the line, in the, you know, literal sense.
