Was it double speak?

I had to read Senator Edie McClafferty’s reply to Susanne’s inquiry three times. I am pretty sure that it is what Orwell called double speak. In other words, it deliberately distorts or obscures the meaning of what was being said.

Basically, both Suzanne and I wanted to know why people with sincerely held religious convictions, (church daycares, etc.) were not being offered the same protections Senator McClafferty wishes to extend to unions. Again, I do not have an issue with unions, just disparity in treatment of Montanans.

Secondly, I am a Constitutional coach and I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that the First Amendment does not address unions at all. The rights detailed in the First Amendment are; religion, speech/press, peaceable assembly and petition the government for grievances.
