Supreme Court Sides With Christian College In Birth Control Case

The three female justices of the Supreme Court sharply rebuked their colleagues Thursday for siding with a Christian college in the latest battle over providing women with contraceptive coverage under the Affordable Care Act, saying the court was retreating from assurances offered only days ago.
In a short, unsigned opinion, the court said that Wheaton College in Illinois, at least temporarily, does not have to comply even with compromise provisions in the law that the college says still violate its religious beliefs.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the action cast doubt on the very accommodation the court’s majority seemed to endorse Monday in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, which concerned businesses that objected to providing birth control that offends the owners’ beliefs.

Basically, those who object need not sign EBSA Form 700 - NOW all they have to do is file a letter with the government stating the college’s religious objection.
It’s all about not having to sign EBSA Form 700 (the college didn’t want to participate in the coverage being kicked down the road where the government could tell a third party to provide the contraceptive) — by signing this govt form, they would have been the trigger to getting this coverage.
The government can do whatever (as we’ve seen) so there is something about how this ruling (the college being allowed by the SC decision NOT TO SIGN EBSA Form 700) will effect other decisions that has us witnessing the fury of the Leftist SC justices and their accusation of a Supreme Court bait and switch (with this ruling following on the heels of the earlier Hobby Lobby decision).
Not a tranny.
Like I’ve said many times here....Their rational makes perfect sense if pregnancy is a disease....
We pay for prevention of disease, but I can’t think of a case where medical insurance will cover prevention of a normal human function.
The other thing that strikes me, is you have three woman on the SC, all of whom are liberal left.
But, the current senate voted that a 50% majority is needed for confirmation. If that stays as is, and we have the senate...then the minority can’t block a new SCOTUS appointment.
In other words, if we get a conservative president, he can easily replace any retiring liberal judge with a conservative one. This presumes of course that the Senate will not change the rules back to needing 66% passage.
Then you presume he's ruled out kinetic action?
I'm not so sure.
...saying the court was retreating from assurances offered only days ago....
Did anyone ask Bart Stupak how much an 0bnama assurance is worth??
Using the Leftist logic, I should be entitled to free guns and ammo, since the 2nd amendment entitles me to have them.
“Nothing in this interim order affects the ability of the applicant’s employees and students to obtain, without cost, the full range of FDA approved contraceptives,” the order said.”
So then who is paying for it?
“...Not a tranny....”
Ummmm...I dunno about that.
That pic sure looks like a guy with long hair to me.
Whatever it is, it’s evil.
Exactly. It’s their religion to force their views upon others.
Well Played sir.
Isn’t it true that none of these three Leftists would be on the Court if Republicans hadn’t voted to confirm them?
FReepmail me to subscribe to or unsubscribe from the SCOTUS ping list.
“Using the Leftist logic, I should be entitled to free guns and ammo, since the 2nd amendment entitles me to have them.”
Or even more to the point, applying the Left’s logic, anti-gun organizations and pacifist groups should be taxed to give you free guns and ammo, and if those groups complain, they would be called “terrorists.”
The democrats want to chip away at religious liberty, and they have done some of it through obamacare. They are furious that their progress in taking away religious liberty has been reversed a bit by the court decisions, hence the kicking, stomping, and screaming.
What the democrats are trying to do is that anyone who has religious convictions should cast those convictions and principles aside if they want to start a business. So if you are a observant christian or a jew, you either cannot run a business because of your faith principles, or you take the choice of casting them aside to earn a living.
Extreme left wing tyranny on the march.
When engaging your U.S. Rep or Senatorial candidate, one question to ask is, “Will you firmly commit to blocking ALL and ANY appointments made by this out of control executive branch?”.
If the candidate give any other answer than straight-to-the-point affirmative, let them know that you consider them traitorous, and intend to stand firmly with the majority of American while you wage complete and total jihad on their campaign.
This is why we need to win back the Senate, AND get a win in the White House in 2016.
