Depends on the judge and the court. These days, it seams too many judges are just soldiers in the army of darkness (left). Decisions are not based upon the law, but on the desired outcome.

This is all well and good, but I'll believe in the judicial system when a judge - any judge anywhere - actually acts on these observations.

Right now, from what I can see, we're in a banana republic where the law is subjugated to the political left all because a black man is in the white house and no one wants to have the word "Racist" thrown at them.

I’m waiting for a plaintiff to arise from the business community.

Church-related institutions certainly have a beef, but those of us in the private sector are being forced to pay for these things that employees really haven’t demanded.

We’re accustomed to states mandating coverages, but not the Feds. The commerce clause could work in our favor here, because health insurance cannot be sold across state lines. A ruling in our favor would set back the commerce clause justification significantly.

While I’m ranting, allow me to say that I have first-hand experience to inform you that the psychiatric care mandated years ago in Virginia is much more egregious from a cost standpoint that the contraceptive mandate could ever be.

It is constantly and consistently abused for massive payments, and it is THE driver of recent increases in premiums in VA.

What part of the Tenth amendment does Obama not understand?

The Tenth Amendment states the Constitution’s principle of federalism by providing that powers not granted to the federal government nor prohibited to the States by the Constitution are reserved to the States or the people.

But the Becket Fund points out that what’s said at a press conference is not legally binding and does nothing to change the law on the books.

Someone's constitutional theory is seriously behind the times. When a god speaks, is his word not law? And is it not sinful to question his words?

As I count the SC, we have four justices who will accept "Barack spaketh" as constitutionally binding, four who will not, and Justice Kennedy trying to make up his mind.

Delays??? Opposition research, corrupting a court, and finding the right mix of bribes to buy a Judge consumes many hours of work
