Why him and not Hobby Lobby or the Catholic organizations? Same complaints so what is different about the ruling? I am becoming conspiratorial because my first thought was Dominoes must have contributed to O and this is the means to get them off the hook. Terrible thought on my part but lately I see conspiracies in every single issue.

You only see them because of all the past evidence that Obama is a corrupt, vindictive thug.

We have to get this to the Supreme Court NOW. Best way to do that is to get different district courts issuing conflicting rulings, then appellate courts issuing conflicting rulings. The Supremes get to resolve those conflicts.

Now, that's the 'best way' ~ but there are other ways ~ infrequently used but viable.

That is my question as well, what gives?

[A.A. Cunningham]

Different judges, different rulings, different lawyers, different briefs, different pleadings, different districts, etc. The courts are not a monolith.

Why Monaghan?.....because he had his case go before a Reagan appointee rather than an O appointee like Sotomaior, the "wise Latina". I can't imagine any of Tom Monaghan's interests, (including Ave Maria University), would have contributed one penny to O and his colleagues. I've never been a big fan of his pizza, but his politics are solid and his faith-walk consistant

Thomas Monaghan is a solid conservative and a practicing Catholic.

He happens to have a ton of money that he is willing to throw at the issue and he has a non-compromising attitude.
