Denver Court Rules against Little Sisters of the Poor
Breaking Christian News ^ | July 15, 2015 | Melinda Skea

Moments ago, in a departure from the U.S. Supreme Court's protection of the Little Sisters of the Poor last year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit ruled that the Little Sisters must comply with the government's HHS mandate. This mandate forces religious ministries to violate their faith or pay massive IRS penalties.

For birth control or what? I thought Hobby Lobby won that.

Corporate ruling. Literally. The Court is ruling that such a CORPORATION has to abide by the CORPORATE requirements of the HHS mandate.

Solution? DIS-incorporate.

They just need to declare themselves a sanctuary city that need not comply.

Wouldn’t the Little Sisters be more qualified to know what their religion is and what violates its tenets than unelected seculat lawyers?

Dammit, has this issue not been DEALT with, in a rare moment of sanity, by SCOTUS?

Hobby Lobby was a FOR PROFIT corporation and SCOTUS ruled in their favor.

Why do these godless judges not realize they’re on the losing side of history?

I guess that is always the case with the wicked, is it not?

They continue in their folly, like a dog returning to vomit.

Just when you think the Left can’t drag America any further into the sewer—they surprise you yet again.

The words of the Constitution mean so little to judges these days that it will be long gone within the next few years!\

Welcome to the new world order!

Why are these “judges” (sic) not named? There will be people who realize they know them and have interactions with them that the judges cannot avoid. These judges do not want public “feedback”.

Denver IS already a Sanctuary City....

They should just say they are all here illegally

When you wind up in court against the Little Sisters of the Poor you’re probably in the wrong.

Unfortunately it is a one-sided war. The other side isn’t fighting back.

It really doesn't matter what the Colorado court ruled, the Little Sisters are going to continue doing what they do. Nothing will come of it because the only thing the courts can do now is arrest the Little Sisters and can you imagine the uproar with pictures (Globally) doing the perp-walk to the county jail. No politician would even go near it, so it won't happen.

I am working on a long argument asserting that the Constitution is just a piece of paper; totally meaningless.
However, the Declaration of Independence in not.

Fail to grasp the reasons why, and we arrive at the generally criminal enterprise we have today everywhere, masquerading as government/leadership.
