Little Sisters of the Poor, who staff homes for the elderly poor, say they will LEAVE THE USA rather than participate in funding contraception, sterilization, and abortion.

"If you have religious 'free exercise' you can keep your 'free exercise' --- elsewhere."

If the poor sisters do not comply, they face hefty fines. Although it varies between locations, some face amounts of $100 per employee, per day. Fines could have started today, Jan. 1, 2014, without this temporary injunction.

The Little Sisters are being defended pro-bono by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, whose clients have included religions from A-Z: Anglicans to Zoroastrians. The Becket Fund has defended dozens of faiths including: Amish, Buddhists, Evangelical Christians, Hindus, Jews, Lutherans, Mormons, Native Americans, Non-Denominational Christians, Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, Santeros, Sikhs, Unitarian Universalists, and Zoroastrians.

Do the “Little Sisters of the Poor” still field a football team?

[SvenMagnussen]

In law, intervention is a procedure to allow a nonparty, called intervenor to join ongoing litigation, either as a matter of right or at the discretion of the court, without the permission of the original litigants. The basic rationale for intervention is that a judgment in a particular case may affect the rights of nonparties, who ideally should have the right to be heard.

Justice Sotomayor grants temporary Obamacare exemption to nuns.

Sotomayor gave the government until Friday to file a response in the case. Her order extends only to the group of nuns and does not apply more broadly to the Affordable Care Act and its requirements.

Sotomayor, an Obama appointee, is at risk for an objection by an intervenor objecting to the appointments of an ineligible President. Appointments by an ineligible President are a violation of the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. A sustained objection will require a hearing on Presidential eligibility or the Justice must recuse.

Oh no....don’t let the SCOTUS rule on this with John “Sell-Out” Roberts casting the swing vote again. He’s afraid of the Obama thugs who must have something devastating on this coward.

Did the Founders provide an impeachment mechanism for wayward Supreme Court justices? If not, they should have.
