When this issue gets to the Supreme Court John Roberts will put a stop to such regressive nonsense and get everyone on board the Obamacare train.
is the exact language of the U.S. Constitution (I'm not a Constitutional Scholar, like The Messiah, though), as I recall from my old school days, and if this Obamacare bullshit is NOT "Preventing the Free Exercise, therof" I don't know what is!
The USSC did NOT rule on the Constitutionality of THAT!
The Honorable Roberts will insist that this is a tax and therefore not an option to refuse to participate. /sarc
Judge Heaton reviewed pleadings and heard oral argument via a telephone conference on Friday before issuing a two-page order.
“The court concludes plaintiffs have made a sufficient showing to warrant the issuance of a temporary restraining order in the circumstances existing here,” the judge wrote.
Honorable Roberts!
Yes, like any decent person would ever find anything honorable about Roberts.
I find that difficult to believe since CJ Roberts wrote the opinion on AID v. Alliance for Open Society International
Posting in stealth Blame Bush™ thread.

Hugh Hewitt, who worked in an office with CJ Roberts for a year, concurs. He interviewed Liptak today.
Post Obamacare, I hope we're not tilting at windmills.....don't think we are. Truth will out.

I guess religion is cool and all only if the enemy is the USA and its workers.
I think Hobby Lobby is just trying to save money and not too concerned about the whole “religion” thing.
Great news!
Excellent! We like Hobby Lobby. My wife buys a good bit there.
Roberts can go to h e double hockey sticks with his stupid view of the US Constitution. Lets impeach him!
Whatever happened to equal protection under the law? What about all the waivers? If “it’s” good for all of us why all the waivers?
This Sunday afternoon why not go to a local Hobby Lobby Store and ask the manager. Then I think you'll have your answer. Unfortunately trying to avoid China produced goods even in food stores has become difficult.
Until our government stops regulating and taxing to death manufacturing here in the U.S. and until it raises tariffs on China goods we will see no improvement. Hobby Lobby took a stand against this administration many much larger corporations and even churches simply would not.
This is the way it had to be played out.
The GOP deciding to take a stand on what appeared to be against birth control (contraceptives) in a major election year 2012 against public opinion and w zero support from the Catholic church was suicidal and accomplished zero.
