wonder what they have on the others?.

Everything; NSA, you know.And they don't even need anything real. Everyone knows that NSA knows everything therefore if a Justice is told that he will be outed for something that he knows and his mafiosic interlocutor knows is not true, then he must know that when publicized it will be vicariously "true" and he will be pilloried, perhaps even judicially tried for it, at least hounded. And I don't think the kenyan approach to a Justice is necessarily limited to release of information. Justices on the Court worry about the health and survival of their families.

I understand the religious issue but I think there's a broader brush to this...why is it mandated at all? Millions...and I mean millions of policies have been written with it being mandated. I had insurance. My doctor wrote me a prescription and I went to the store and bought it....with my own money.

What about women 50 and over or who have had their tubes tied or an hysterectomy? What about women who smoke? My doctor wouldn't give me the pill when I was 40 and smoking. What about men in general?

Yes, you’re correct in that it shouldn’t be mandated at all, I was speaking to the case coming up.

Though Mrs. jaz and I had insurance this was not covered nor even was pregnancy but of course that goes back more years than I like to think about. :)

At what point does the adoption cease being something they could hold over his head?

Yeah. It’s a real nailbiter, huh?

Failure on all of those counts could open the floodgates to a torrent of actions designed to bolster the religious rights of businesses, experts say.

That right there is why the Roberts court is likely to find a way to twist the law to find against Hobby Lobby. A finding against Obastardcare would open the floodgates to a lot more litigation.

You may well be right. I read earlier at the oral arguments the court seemed to be split and that Kennedy asked questions that could signal going either way.

Of course that’s one persons opinion and doesn’t mean much. They’re supposed to rule in June and I believe it could go either way.

It will go against Hobby Lobby. Roberts has been bought.

I think a little more immediate than that.
