Dershowitz: ‘Brilliant’ Case Led to Obamacare Contraception Delay
The case brought before the Supreme Court that led Justice Sonia Sotomayor to delay the Obamacare contraception mandate for religious groups was “brilliant,” Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz said on Thursday.
“The lawyers picked a brilliant, brilliant case to bring in front of Justice Sotomayor ... What could be more sympathetic to anybody, whether you’re Catholic or not Catholic?” Dershowitz asked on “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV.
“Justice Sotomayor grew up basically in the shadow of that kind of teaching — and these are nuns, who say they can’t violate their own religious principles,” he said.
Thank you for the posted link and ping. Obamacare should have been struck down by the Supreme Court .. period! The fact that we have selfless nuns begging for an exemption from the HHS mandate while Muslims are exempted because they believe that health insurance is “haraam” (forbidden), makes absolutely no sense. The Little Sisters of the Poor are just that ... poor! They visit parishes, begging for the funds needed to care for the poorest of the poor. Perhaps Obama views their work as competitive. The big difference is that they do this out of love for Christ vs the government who does it for votes.
