arguing that "secular" businesses should not be exempt from the mandate.
The 19 senators planned to file a brief before the court, which is still weeks away from considering the closely watched case. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who planned to make her case on the Senate floor, adamantly defended the Obama administration's side.
"What's at stake in this case before the Supreme Court is whether a CEO's personal beliefs can trump a woman's right to access free or low-cost contraception under the Affordable Care Act," she said in prepared remarks.

Good for them. I hope that they do. More should follow their example.
Have not heard of this before, but we all know the Court is sensitive to pressure from the other “co-equal” branches .... e.g. Robert’s decision on Obamacare! Obama’s not so subtle pressure tactic worked, so why not go back to that well?
If memory serves aren’t Christian Scientists exempt as well... so if one “secular” individual is exempt why not all Christians of similar moral belief?
The voter has been dumbed-down enough that the Dems get away with such things.... this may be liberty’s final stand!
“What’s next, a woman’s right to Ron Jeremy. “
Excellent analogy.
I am sure they are exempt.
Democrats.
Sayyyy, isn’t that the party the voted THREE TIMES to deny God and Israel a place on their party platform?
See post #45...
Yeah, I get tired of their play on words. So basically, a woman *wanting* somebody else pay for their contraception trumps the religious rights of an individual that owns the company and defines its corporate culture.
To think that one of the founding principles of this country was religious freedom....how far we have come. It’s also curious how things that are explicitly stated in the constitution (religious freedom) are trumped by so-called “women’s rights” that appear nowhere in the constitution.
” Due to his religious beliefs”
That may be correct but I don’t even see why religion has to be involved in a simple matter of whether a business should be forced to pay for people to have sex without getting pregnant. The whole thing is absurd in the first place.
Good grief. Don’t these legislators know that they do not interfere with the Supreme Court.
There are thre balancing part of government:
Judicial
Legislative
Executive
Unfortunately some have not learned that telling others how to do their jobs is against the law.
“...a CEO’s personal beliefs can trump a woman’s right to access free or low-cost contraception under the Affordable Care Act,’ she said in prepared remarks.”
So, to whom is it *free* or *low cost* ??
Only Cal can do that, FRiend.

Before they close them, I hope they ask every employee their oppinion. Then lay off the liberals for one week before they close. Just to point out how the communists are costing people jobs.
“I’m not going to pay for it.” equals “You can’t have it.” to libtards because they pay for their constituents’ bennies with OPM.
Duh! :)
It is a full on coup by them. They know EXACTLY what they are doing.
Democrats need to start upholding their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution by complying with the Constitution's Article V. Since Congress has no constitutional authority to address public healthcare, Article V requires Congress to petition the states to ratify an appropriate amendment to the Constitution to acquire such power. And if the states chose to ratify such an amendment, then Congress would have the specific power that it needs to establish a federal public healthcare program like Obamacare.
In other words, corrupt Congress wrongly ignored getting the required consent of the Article V state majority before it established Obamacare.
I thought HL already covered (with current/previous policy) contraception...just not the abortifacients that 0sCare pushes to cover.
Here’s their statement...

Didn’t you get the memo? Only Democrats are allowed to change Obamacare.
Thank you. As I suspected that moron Sherrod Brown is on the list.
It shouldn’t take balls to be an opposition party. But it does if you’re being blackmailed.
