Remember when the Obama DOJ decided to go after the Little Sisters of the Poor?
We posted about the law suit in January 2014: Let’s have a little fun with the nuns …
Looking back, it may have been a defining moment for some folks.
Sicking the IRS on the Tea Party was one thing …
Going after the Little Sisters, though, was a visible, and mobilizing metaphor.
Let’s flashback ….

When I heard the news report, I thought it was a joke.
The full force of the DOJ is being thrown at, believe it or not …
THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR.
Not just nuns, “little” nuns.
Not just little nuns, little nuns who dedicate their lives to God and spend every waking hour praying or caring for the poor.
Not just little nuns who care for the poor, little poor-caring nuns who are, on average, probably about a hundred years old.
These are the nuns who are literally icons for the helpless.
So much so that weak sports teams – like those on Georgetown’s early season basketball schedule — have forever been referred to as representing The Little Sisters of the Poor.
Those Little Sisters of the Poor.
What’s the government’s beef?
