That about says it for me too.

It was the right thing to do, and she did it. However it leaves me wondering where were the other 8?
Why did she have to do it alone? Where were the so=called Conservatives on the Court?

It will eventually end up in the Supreme Court, and how will the majority vote? How will she vote, when it rally counts?

[NYer]

is this satire/ sarcasm?

Amazing, isn't it!! This truly is the power of prayer at work, even on stony hearts. The Little Sisters of the Poor maintain homes for the poorest of the poor. They had already decided to leave the US if the mandate was not overturned.

That's how are Court is supposed to work. A single Justice rules on emergency stays. The other 8 (or more likely, the conservative 4 plus a swing vote) will rule when the case is heard, and this is almost certain to get there.

We never saw that coming, did we? Apparently her Hispanic Catholicism trumps her Obama worship.

[Popman]

Or did the (fake) messiah decide to let his beyotch on the bench alter this aspect to make this change for his own political expediency.

Good question...

I sort of disagree to a point...

She has a lifetime appointment beholden to nobody...I seriously doubt she is letting anyone "decide" for her how she rules on issues...

Could be a simple case of common sense...as you know nuns needs lots of mandated birth control / S

I wish John Roberts Anglo-Saxon Catholicism had trumped his Obozo worship

[Old Sarge]

Three steps forward minus two steps back is still a net gain of one step.

Incrementalism is the hallmark of the Socialist Agenda.

Maybe, although she is a liberal, she believes in rule of law.

No joy in DUMMYville. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014685671

Synopsis: She was not to be trusted because she is a Roman Catholic.

It's bad insurance to cover expected events or elective ones. Contraception being covered takes away the competitive factor which kept prices low Forced coverage benefits pharmaceutical companies by creating an environment where they can raise prices. Covering morning after pills and giving even the youngest girls birth control like it is candy can only contribute to the decline of morals and disappearance into chaos and debauchery of poor and minority neighborhoods. From a religious standpoint it's impossible morally to sign up for the insurance.

Maybe Sotomeyer is serious enough about her religion to not want to burn in hell. Maybe others in minority and poor communities will wake up and realize that this is social engineering at its worst, designed to eliminate them and replace them with more complacent invaders. I pray so; otherwise how can God ever be on our side?

DU....What a bunch of loons...

[Vaquero]

She has a lifetime appointment beholden to nobody...

Yes. Lifetime.
Like Arkancide, there is a new phenomenon that I call Choomgangicide which has been recently seen in the plane crash and ultimate death of Loretta Fuddy in a plane that landed on the sea and floated for 25 minutes. No I believe Yankees fan and sometime Supreme Court justice Sotomayor was given orders.

[Gamecock]

I. Am. Shocked.

[Popman]

Well, with this bunch of grifters, thieves, reprobates and scumbags...

Anything is possible...

[urtax$@work]

1.) is this a true story?

2.) can 1 of 9 do this without the other 8 ?

[knarf]

It'll be interesting to see what, if any, response the enema has by Friday.

I can't shake the feeling that she's part of the coup.

Control.

As much as I ever loved my country, I fear God first.

[marshmallow]

The “Francis effect”?

[TexasFreeper2009]

I Hope that this is a harbinger of things to come with Soto. It’s FAR past time for the left to appoint a Supreme Court Judge who goes rouge like nearly all ours do.
