Until the Left applies the extortion screws to Benedict Roberts.
I wonder if they see the hypocrisy of it all?
.
My read: they DO but DON'T care.
what do Roberts and Kennedy think? Could well be a 5-4 decision. No doubt that Kagan, Sotomayor, Ginsburg, and Breyer will vote that Hobby Lobby must comply with forced contraceptive coverage. The liberals minds are made up. It could all come down to Roberts and Kennedy.
As an aside, cases such as this show how important presidential elections are regarding the composition of our courts. Obama will have had 8 years of appointing liberal ideologues to our federal courts. And the courts unfortunately make up new laws or policies.
Maybe Roberts has paid off the vig and loan and is now free.
the last two presidents were all ABOUT the supremes.
Any woman can go get contraceptives and PAY FOR IT HERSELF!
I am so sick of the media and liberals going down the side path and disregarding the issue: THIS IS ABOUT OUR FREEDOM and how our GOV’T is taking away those freedoms with corrupt laws like OBAMACARE! I’m as MAD as HE** and I’m not going to take it anymore...the activists have been the ones who yell and scream for their way. Well, WE THE PEOPLE, have got to STAND UP AND SCREAM for OUR RIGHTs, OUR LIBERTY, our FREEDOM...
Wait ‘til they put the screws to Roberts, again.
I don’t think so, we can no longer win on any Obamacare case because Roberts made it clear he’s on their side. Hell, he invented a tax on nothing, on NOT buying a product.
It’s like Alice in Wonderland’s upside down.
I was optimistic after the arguments on ObamaCare, Round 1. The Constitution is absolutely clear, and there was no legitimate way that decision could have come down in any way other than Enumerated Powers.
I am optimistic on ObamaCare, Round 2, also. This is a basic Free Exercise question, and there is no legitimate way the decision can come down any way other than overturning the HHS abortion mandate.
My concern is that the thugs in power no longer care about legitimacy. We may be transitioning from a constitutional republic with the rule of law into a state inspired by George Orwell (1984, Animal Farm, and worse). If those controlling the government make illegitimate decisions, we owe them nothing beyond the level of submission that they can compel, and that only when directly compelled. The far left will need a lot of energy (more than they have) to accomplish their dreadful and destructive goals once the perception of legitimacy has disappeared.
Rdepublicans were optimistic during the challenge to Obamacare’s constitutionality too.
Then Roberts declared it a tax and the bottom fell out.
The SC is not Constitutional. All crooked lawyer political hacks.
there was a lawyer on FNC that said this is only about four specific types. There are 11 or so other forms still provided.
Agreed. But even Hobby Lobby supports 16 of the 20 FDA approved forms of birth control. They only refuse the ones labeled by the FDA as potentially resulting in the destruction of a fertilized egg.
Yeah... I remember all that confidence we had during the hearings on the mandate... then, as Roberts quietly changed his intention to “overturn” to “sustain”, as well as re-write the entire brief, it turned into one huge disastrous disappointment.
FReepmail me to subscribe to or unsubscribe from the SCOTUS ping list.
Yeah but we were all excited after oral arguments before SCOTUS on the original ACA...and then John Roberts committed TREASON (hope ya got that NSA)....and our freedoms (what few we have left) are officially on notice. They too will be breached with impunity
Justice Kennedy asked Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr., for instance, whether for-profit corporations “could be forced in principle to pay for abortions” and be powerless to object on religious grounds.
Mr. Verrilli said that was right, though he added that there was no such law.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. jumped in. “Flesh it out a little more,” he said. “There is no law on the books that does what?”
Squirming, Mr. Verrilli said, “That requires for-profit corporations to provide abortions.”
Chief Justice Roberts looked puzzled. “I thought that’s what we had before us,” he said.
We have the best courts that money can buy
