Didn't she also rule on a case in Bush vs Gore?

I don't believe she was involved in those rulings. Janice Rogers Brown is, however, the scumbag Democrats' worst nightmare. She is a black woman, and she is brilliant. And she is a conservative who takes the Constitution seriously. (Like I said, the scumbag rats' worst nightmare.)

The rats did everything in their power to stop her confirmation but she ended up getting confirmed following the "Gang of 14" negotiations back in 2006.

She might actually have to entertain the notion of abstinence.

The indignity of it all!

IIRC, there is no “severability” clause in the ACA... therefor by logic and reason, the ehtire law is unconstituitional... how does Roberts CJ save that?

Which insurance companies will now offer insurance without birth control coverage?

The White House will pressure them not to.

Three judge panel. At least two of them got to the same end, but perhaps via different routes.

Is birth control and abortion part of the law or part of a hhs rule permitted by the law? if the latter, then perhaps the rule can be ruled unconstitutional while not tripping the law and the severability clause... IANAL...

***The Obama administration said that the requirement is necessary to protect women’s right to decide whether and when to have children.***

Women can choose to do whatever they want. Doesn't mean they should be subsdized by the employer.

How is that pig Sandra Fluke going to stay unpregnant now?

"By switching teams?"

Or, sticking with Monica sex. Of course, then she would demand "oral contraceptives".

I’m glad “free” contraception was struck down because it trampled religious freedom, but the law was a travesty regardless. To think the federal government has a constitutional right to tell insurance companies they MUST provide certain freebies as a price of doing business. That’s ridiculous.

This is like requiring auto companies to give “free” cars to minorities or McDonalds to hand out “free” Happy Meals to EBT holders as a price of doing business. I understand the reasons for doing so—buying the votes of single women mostly—but the precedent is jaw dropping. What other things can the federal government force businesses to give away in order to stay in business?

The answer, unfortunately, is pretty much what ever the political aristocracy in D.C. wants.

I think she was.
I remember everyone thinking she would kick the can down the road, so that she wouldn't have to take the heat.
But she didn't.

Janice Rogers Brown, "A Whiter Shade of Pale"

Text of a speech she gave in the year 2000. Worth reading the whole thing.

At this moment, it seems likely leviathan will continue to lumber along, picking up ballast and momentum, crushing everything in its path. Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates, and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible.

We need to find out what embarrassing and/or criminal information Obama has on Roberts and all the other Supreme Court Justices so that it can be made public and negate the blackmail possibilities.

In clinical studies her face tested 38% more effective than Norplant...
