Strike down the entire mandate.
Calling it a tax was unconscionable.

For once the chief housekeeper on the Supreme Court has a ruling in line with First Amendment rights.

Fluke, then a 30-year-old law student at Georgetown, was invited by Democrats to speak at a hearing by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on new Administration rules concerning the Conscience Clause exceptions in healthcare associated with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Fluke insisted that the women of Georgetown, other religious schools, and employees of religious institutions such as hospitals have endured "financial, emotional and medical burdens because of this lack of contraceptive coverage.

I’m no expert of Supreme Court procedure - although I pretend to be on FR - but I think Justice Sotomayor granted the stay because the next step would be for the plaintiffs to ask the full court for a temporary stay, and she knew there were 5 votes ready to do so.
Unless I’m wrong.

Let’s pray that Hobby Lobby wins and all the Catholic people too.

Well, someday I’d like to play a SC Judge in the movies. I look great in black robes. ;)

Why the almost-stroke-of-midnight ruling? It’s not as if this sneaked up on anyone.

She does know that for sure if she is one of the 5. I don’t know if she is a practicing Catholic; but Hispanics are heavily Catholic; this may be one area where she is willing to listen to the religious freedom argument.

In a sane, lawful America no one would need grovel before the USSC with such a plea.
The twisted tyrants no doubt get a kick out of granting random mercies to the poor, desperate peasants.
In future decisions, the court majority may decide to lop off a few heads or make human torches out of homophobes.
