Noah told you it was coming and now here it is. Pandermonium:
The bill, developed in consultation with the Obama administration, would require for-profit corporations like Hobby Lobby Stores to provide and pay for contraceptive coverage, along with other preventive services, under the Affordable Care Act…
“Your health care decisions are not your boss’s business,” said Senator Patty Murray, Democrat of Washington, who led efforts by Senate Democrats to respond to the court ruling. “Since the Supreme Court decided it will not protect women’s access to health care, I will.”…
Ms. Murray’s bill criticizes the Supreme Court’s majority opinion and repudiates it by declaring that “employers may not discriminate against their female employees” in coverage of preventive health services.
To this end, it says that an employer “shall not deny coverage of a specific health care item or service” where coverage is required under any provision of federal law. Moreover, it says, this requirement shall apply to employers notwithstanding the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
“Your health care decisions are not your boss’s business,” she huffed, while insisting that your boss pay for those decisions. Incidentally, I’ve seen some confusion online today about whether Congress can overturn a Supreme Court decision. Sure they can, if the decision is based on the Court’s interpretation of legislation rather than an interpretation of the Constitution. Congress can always change its own laws.

Patty Murray getting all up in a company’s business.
Here’s a little something for Dims to ponder:
Both the New York Times and the Washington Post are FOR PROFIT enterprises. They may not make any PROFIT, due to their content, but both papers are evil profit seeking Free Enterprise institutions. In fact, they FIRE liberals who work for them who don’t produce enough slander!
They don’t have to find a friendly judge, Republicans already have a majority in the House. Passage unlikely.

Then why the hell do you keep trying to make it employers' business?
Why would anyone want to go to their employer to buy birth control?
Well, this must be the New School America.
Obviously, people with Common Sense are stuck in the Old School America. That would be the one that protected Religious Liberty.
Democrat Politicians, so many Necks that could use a good stretching.
Don’t need no steenkin SC. Especially when the female members of it are telling The One and the rest of the donks to ignore the Hobby Lobby decision.
Obviously this won’t pass the house and it most likely it won’t be brought up on the floor.
Doesn’t matter. The One has a pen and a phone.
That is all there is to it, nothing more needed.
The ACA law just states covering preventive care it was HHS that took that to mean contraception and 20 drugs. So if the law did not say specify is HHS making law up? They have given 100+ exceptions to others why not this? In principle it is law without representation
Umm, if they actually passed a law like that. wouldn’t that actually be adhering to what the ruling required, rather than overriding it?
The last time I checked, the only way to override a SCOTUS decision is if a future SCOTUS reverses it.
Part of the problem is the ACA law was written in an open-ended way, which terms such as “the Secretary shall” or may, not sure which. The Dems gave a blank slate to the Executive branch.
To the dems regarding the SCOTUS Hobby Lobby decision:
WE WON! YOU LOST! ITS SETTLED LAW! GET OVER IT!
What she meant to say is:
“Your health care decisions are not your boss’s business, it's OUR decision. We are the elate and we will make all your decisions.”
