He’s been so gracious as to provide them with a ‘waiting period’.
Still unconstitutional though.
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.
What do you mean by 'Catholics'?
Delaying it was purely political on Dems part as well as starting this fight now about something that wont apply for 10 months. .
Another reason delaying these mandates helps the Dems is because it makes it difficult for oppoents to get standing in the court wihout someone actually being harmed by the regulation that hasnt gone into effect yet. Alternatively you cant refuse to comply with a regulation and force a legal case until it goes into effect. The courts made an huge exception to this rule for the personal mandate because the argument was made that a decision is needed ASAP for national (economic) interests.
Watching both sides fight each other I have concluded that Democrats # 1 goal is to win and crush the opposition, where alternatively Republicans seem content with losing each fight and getting rolled over and stepping into Dems traps while making themselves more and more unpopular with both types of voters(us and them) . After all they do it over and over.
