. KEY PASSAGES:

“Even if one were to conclude that Hobby Lobby and Conestoga meet the substantial burden requirement, the Government has shown that the contraceptive coverage for which the ACA provides furthers compelling interests in public health and women’s well being, Those interests are concrete, specific, and demonstrated by a wealth of empirical evidence.”

“Suppose an employer’s sincerely held religious belief is offended by health coverage of vaccines, or paying the minimum wage, or according women equal pay for substantially similar work?”

“Approving some religious claims while deeming others unworthy of accommodation could be ‘perceived as favoring one religion over another,’ the very ‘risk the [Constitution's] Establishment Clause was designed to preclude,”

Would the exemption the Court holds RFRA demands for employers with religiously grounded objections to the use of certain contraceptives extend to employers with religiously grounded objections to blood transfusions (Jehovah's Witnesses); antidepressants (Scientologists); medications derived from pigs, including anesthesia, intravenous fluids, and pills coated with gelatin (certain Muslims, Jews, and Hindus); and vaccinations (Christian Scientists, among others)? The Court, I fear, has ventured into a minefield, by its immoderate reading of RFRA

[GeronL]

It was actually a pretty narrow ruling, Darth Vader

[Tax-chick]

This is all predicated on the idea that contraceptives are good for women. Read all the warnings that come with a package of birth control pills, and then try to say, “This is good for you!” with a straight face.

[Coldwater Creek]

Isn't this exactly what Obama does. Pick and choose what he wants to enforce?

[MUDDOG]

Rush has it right — Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg.

[wardaddy]

I will never understand liberal Jews

[rktman]

Who’s payin’ for her birth control method of choice? Yewwwww!

[NCLaw441]

This case illustrates why individuals, not employers, should be responsible for selecting and purchasing health care insurance that meets their needs. Individual choice assures the coverage each person wants, and insures portability, because where one works has no effect on the coverage as it is paid for by individuals...

[allendale]

Justice Ginsburg did not write that opinion. She no longer has the capacity to do such writing. That opinion was written by her carefully selected left wing clerks. She is just a figurehead being painfully propped up by the Left.

" “Suppose an employer’s sincerely held religious belief is offended by health coverage of vaccines, or paying the minimum wage, or according women equal pay for substantially similar work?”

Well, that's a supposition, isn't it? Stop inventing arguments that aren't being brought before the court and deal strictly with the ones before you!

P.S. - that vaccines thing would be the Jehovah's witnesses of several decades ago, but apparently they got over whatever whacky 'Biblical justification' they had.

[Cubs Fan]

Scary that 4 judges could completely disregard the clear and obvious meaning of “Congress shall make no law... prohibiting the free exercise (of religion)”

But then these are the times we live in.

[ealgeone]

Ruth probably would have bought the line that work means freedom.

[skeeter]

Feh. The only thing Ruth is slamming are shots of Geritol & Dulcolax suppositories.

[Ray76]

According to the commie abortion is “public health and women’s well being”.

[Yo-Yo]

How about the “startling breadth” of Federal overreach in our everyday lives in mandating health care, Ruthie?

[Oratam]

Hang in there, Ruthie! A little over 2 years till retirement.

[Ray76]

Being a devote commie Ginsberg believes that women have the “right” to make decisions for how a third party should spend their money. “Me me me me me wha wha wha wha wha”

[bigtoona]

Leftists NEVER give an inch, not even a millimeter! Any event or change of law that goes our way must be stopped or minimized at all costs.

I wish we were good at this on the conservative side but we have many asleep people and a liberal media to contend with.

Example: in 2012 North Carolina citizens voted over 60% for a constitutional amendment to forbid same sex weddings. This was a great conservative victory but if we had the same vote today I think we would lose big.

The leftists didn’t give up and say “we lost that battle, guess we were wrong...” NO, they find workarounds and employ the media and Facebag to equate being gay with slavery and anyone who disagrees with it ‘evil’. They will continue to attack like a disease until they make progress. In this case, they will continue to attack Hobby Lobby and other Christian organizations until they turn public opinion against them. The supreme court decision won’t matter when HL is out of business.

[Texas Eagle]

“In a decision of startling breadth, the Court holds that commercial enterprises, including corporations, along with partnerships and sole proprietorships, can opt out of any law (saving only tax laws) they judge incompatible with their sincerely held religious beliefs,”

The hell you say. Picking and choosing which laws they think apply to them.

Who the hell do these people think they are? Pres--ent Obama???

[mac_truck]

Does this mean Christian bakers can’t be forced to make wedding cakes for homosexuals?

I sure hope so...

[Moonman62]

“In a decision of startling breadth, the Court holds that commercial enterprises, including corporations, along with partnerships and sole proprietorships, can opt out of any law (saving only tax laws)...

I thought Obamacare was a tax law.
