You missed it. The mandate will go into effect in 2013. He is not right now forcing nuns to do anything. Not yet.

He’s been so gracious as to provide them with a ‘waiting period’.

It is a trap - if he can get conservatives to shun from defending the constitution, then he can destroy the Catholics and destroy their trust in the republican party all at the same time.
Divide and conquer, and it’s working absolutely perfectly. He’s taking advantage of the fact that you love contraception more than you love the constitution, and so long as he targets the enemy - the Catholic church - you’re happy to defend what you do believe is a right, access to contraception.
That is the trap.
