Justices: Can’t make employers cover contraception
Court: Public union can’t make nonmembers pay fees
Both narrow rulings and 5-4 split decisions, but better than nothing.
You are correct. This ought to cover EWTN’s concerns as well. I guess no one wanted to see or hear from Mother Angelica in a wheel chair!
“5-4, the usual suspects dissenting.”
Well, yes - except for Chief Justice Roberts, apparently.
Look for some nasty family secrets to be divulged about the Roberts family very soon….
I put absolutely NOTHING past this despicably EVIL and HEINOUS subhuman occuping the Oval office.
You’re absolutely right. The Evil one will become more obstinate.
Yep!
he better watch out...I think “they” have something on him.
Family owned companies.
Nice Hitler rant, Doug!
I expect a lot of CEO’s to find religion soon.
AP lied, employers cannot be forced to cover a specific form of contraceptive.
Hobby Lobby was already providing others.
More of the DNC-MSM “War on Women meme”.
The absolute hypocrisy and duplicity of the American statist left defies logical explanation!
Putting aside for the moment that “statist left” and “logical” should NEVER APPEAR in the same rant, the just announced Hobby Lobby decision by the Supremes displayed it for all to see. All, that is, except the looney 47% who are receiving all the “free” chit and other goodies dispensed by the left to keep them voting for Democrat hacks who promise more and more of the free chit.
At the time the left rammed through the (Un)Affordable Care Act, there were loud protests from the few million or so sane citizens still living here that it would interpose fedzilla into the formerly sacred relationship between patient and doctor. The equally looney “We have to pass it to find out what’s in it” left quickly waved a collective imperious hand and uttered a royal “Tsk, tsk”, dismissed the objectors and returned to destroying the fabric of the country.
Comes now the favorable Hobby Lobby decision and comes now two pro-abortion radical feminazis to – where else – MSNBC to decry and lament over the decision. One was Rep. Nita Lowey from NYC (aka Gomorrah on the Hudson) and another woman representing one of the several Margaret Sanger eugenics inspired pro-abortion groups still murdering babies in the former safety of their mothers’ wombs.
Their first and only opposition argument? Though I suspect you have figured this out, better brace yourself: “It would interfere with the sanctity of the relationship between a woman and her doctor.”
And before you hit the reply button with “What about the hypocrisy of the pro-life right in celebrating Hobby Lobby?”
You may have overlooked the third and silent party in the discussion: The unborn baby!
The pro-aborts maintain that a fetus is NOT a human being either until birth or the third trimester. (I’ll believe that when a human female delivers a chicken or a cow.) And a number of courts here and in other nations regularly rule in support of that erroneous notion.
And while we’re discussing “hypocrisy”, can you explain this to me? How is it that those same courts correctly rule in cases involving intentional or accidental serious injury to or death of a pregnant woman that if her unborn baby is injured or dies, her baby constitutes a SECOND victim of the trauma or crime and the jury/judge nearly always factors that into the civil judgment or criminal sentence?
That concept comes down to us from the over 2,000 year old law found in the Bible.
And here’s one final piece of law from that Good Book: “A double-minded man (or woman) is UNSTABLE in ALL his (or her) ways”.
What does that say about 21st century America?
Just sayin’

YAY!
He’ll double down on homo “rights”.
Besides, all of Obamacare is an hideous, unconstitutional abomination. This type of ruling, while favorable on its face, affirms the false premise that Obamacare is legit, but just has a few bugs to work out.
You’re right. But I bet he won’t “come out”.
On the bright side, everything hidden will be brought to light. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of his flaming own will decide to retaliate for whatever slight, and do the “outing” for him. Not an uncommon tactic for these unstable, vindictive types.
I don’t see how simply ignoring the ruling would do them any good. If Hobby Lobby contracts with an insurance entity and the health insurance coverage for the Hobby Lobby employees excludes paying for contraceptives, what can anyone actually do to “punish” Hobby Lobby when payment for the contraceptives is denied at the point of sale or upon receipt of a bill for payment?
The covered employee could file a lawsuit, but it wouldn’t get past first base in light of this USSC ruling, would it? If the Obama administration attempts to levy a fine against Hobby Lobby for refusing to pay for contraceptives, and Hobby Lobby simply refuses to pay the fine, what could the administration do about it?
Good points. Let’s hope they “out” him.
