While the court has affirmed the freedom of speech for companies, it will use the example of the establishment clause to state that companies can't impose their views on employees as well, and uphold the contraceptive mandate.

OTOH - can employees impose their views [ie: contraception coverage] on their employers?

Employees aren't imposing ObamaCare (PelosiCare) coverage requirements, the federal government is. The religious views of the employees (and ultimately, the consumers of those plans) aren't in question here. Question is: Do YOU as a consumer of health care plans, have to accept any plan that includes contraceptive coverage? That's a battle the SCOTUS doesn't want to fight, and hence why I think the religious exemption will be encouraged by SCOTUS to handle such future questions.
