From Politico:

The Obama administration cannot enforce the Affordable Care Act’s contraception coverage requirements against a Catholic nuns’ order for the time being, if the nuns tell the government they object to providing that coverage, the Supreme Court ruled Friday afternoon.

The Supreme Court’s action could defuse for the time being a showdown between religious employers and the federal government over the procedures for providing contraceptive coverage to employees of hospitals, nursing homes and other entities run by religious groups.

Sounds like a member of the judiciary is thinking of their soul. I admire how the SC is actually doing the right thing.

Lots of Catholics on the SCOTUS. Even those considered liberal may not be when conflicting with their faith

I find that so admirable; lots of people like to needle each other, but realistically, nuns are considered off limits.

... and they can save obama from himself while upholding the Constitution.
