>> No. The 5-person opinion said the govt was ALLOWED to carve out an exception. Alito & Gorsuch then separately added that the govt should be required to give an exception. The 2 Libs agreed with 5 on ALLOWED, but didn’t join it. They wrote their separate opinion, giving different reasoning. So the 7-2 is just a facade and won’t carry to the next similar case If we have a future DEM POTUS, he will remove the exception ... and a new case starts for the Sisters. <<

Meh. So we "won" this case, but not really.

Also weird that Thomas authored the weakly written "majority" opinion. You'd think he would have been on the side of the stronger Alito concurrence.

Remember that time during the Obama presidency where the Supreme Court decision was so vague and confusing that BOTH sides were claiming it was a victory for them?

No. But I remember Bush v. Gore as they began to read it and oh shit it was 7-2 that means we lost oh wait it was 7-2 that there was a problem that there was no single standard statewide (and 2 assholes who thought that was just fine) but 5-4 as to the solution that it's too late so Gore can eff himself, maybe he shouldn't have tried to cherry pick counties instead of asking for a statewide recount in the first place.

I detest ambiguity. ;d
