When the Supreme Court ruled on the ACA Mandate Roberts said the power to do that is through taxation. All Taxation has to come through the House first. It makes sense because the house is much more representative of population.

Employers should NOT have to pay a dime for any of the birth control parts of health benefits.


I agree. And if they DO have to, they are doing business in a fascist regime.

A SCOTUS decision is only “overturned” by a future SCOTUS decision.

New, amended or repealed laws may “abrogate” the decision, but they do not “overturn” it.

And in this case, since a finding of a less restrictive alternative was made, in part, by the ability of the other two branches to employ administrative or legislative changes in order to supply those contraceptives without violating the RFRA, then perhaps such action might actually be better described as “affirming” the decision!

Now there’s a way to screw with a lefty when this subject comes up - refer to it as “affirming” the SCOTUS decision!

Then I guess the dimocrats can’t read. The judgment specifically says “closely held.”
